Lightweight aggregates As mentioned in the body of this paper lightweight concrete contains aggregate that is natural or synthetic which weighs less than kg/m 3The lightweight is due to the cellular or high internal porous microstructure which gives this type of aggregate a structure with the use of affordable lightweight high performance concrete ALWHPC Most or all lightweight high performance concrete mixes used today include lightweight aggregates as the coarse aggregate and sand for the fine aggregate ALWHPC mix designs contain all lightweight aggregates

TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 Lightweight Pieces in Aggregate AASHTO T 113 Only tested as needed Consensus Properties are typically run on individual aggregates used for the mix design After reducing the aggregate to the proper testing size the first test performed in this exampleJun 01 32 Aggregates are the major constituent ingredient in concrete making up 60 to 70 of the volume of concrete Aggregates influence the workability of plastic concrete and also the durability strength thermal properties and density of hardened concrete Particle size divides aggregates into two categories fine and coarse Most fine aggregates are sand and contain particles smaller than 3/8

Construction aggregate or simply aggregate is a broad category of coarse to medium grained particulate material used in construction including sand gravel crushed stone slag recycled concrete and geosynthetic aggregat Aggregates are the most mined materials in the worldThe concrete density varies depending on the amount and density of the aggregate how much air is entrapped or purposely entrained the cement concentration and the maximum size of aggregate used Lightweight concrete has a density of 115 lbs per square foot

Global Lightweight Aggregate Concrete Market Overview Lightweight aggregate concrete Market is a type of concrete which includes an expanding agent The expanding agent helps increase the volume of the mixture while simultaneously reducing its dead weight The expanding agent can be termed as lightweight aggregatestructural lightweight concrete cannot be precisely determined because of the difficulty in determining the absorption of lightweight aggregate Air content of structural lightweight concrete must be closely monitored and controlled to ensure that the density requirements

33 Grading Lightweight Aggregate for Concrete Grading requirements are generally similar to those provided for normalweight aggregate with the exception that lightweight aggregate particle size distribution permits a higher weight through smaller siev This modification recognizes the increase inThe effects of aggregate type size and content on the behavior of normal and high strength concrete and the relationships between compressive strength flexural strength and fracture energy are discussed The concrete mixtures incorporate either basalt or crushed limestone aggregate sizes of 12 mm h in or 19 mm Y in and

Apr 12 32 Specific types of lightweight aggregates make varying forms of lightweight concrete These vary from lightweight aggregate concrete foamed concrete or Autoclaved Aerated Concrete AAC The aggregates used in AAC are extremely fine even smaller than a grain of sand This composition makes AAC highly suitable for pre casting and reshapingLightweight concrete is made using lightweight aggregates of expanded shale clay and slag These are used to produce structural lightweight concrete with a freshly mixed unit weight of 90 to 120 pounds per cubic foot Normal weight concrete is typically 135 to 150 pounds per cubic foot

Jul 03 32 Contractors can choose from fine aggregates made from small particles of material and coarse aggregates which are made with large chunks Companies which produce concrete aggregate usually grade their products by size allowing contractors to order from a spectrum of siz In order for aggregate to be effective it must be strongA simple mix design procedure for the development of structural lightweight aggregate concrete was proposed by Bogas and Gomes based on the biphasic model wherein the characteristic strength of mortar and of lightweight aggregate in concrete was also considered as mix design parameters By assuming the paste volume and coarse aggregate volume
