ESCS lightweight aggregates contain a uniformly distributed system of pores that have a size range of approximately 5 to 300μm, developed in a continuous, relatively crack-free, high-strength vitreous phase. Pores close to the surface are readily permeable and fill with water within the first few hours to a few days of exposure to moisture.

Lightweight aggregates in Ethiopia can be processed using methods such as crushing, grinding, screening, sizing, and separation. Additionally, the process may …

Go to: 1. Introduction. Light weight aggregate concrete (LWAC) has been widely applied in constructions with the merits of lightweight, heat preservation, fire resistance, low shrinkage, and creep resistance under normal conditions [ 1 ]. The most essential benefit of LWAC is structural weight reduction.

Lytag lightweight aggregate sizes used were 4/14 mm. It exhibits a particle density of 1350–1650 kg/m 3 and water absorption of 15% . Pumice was used as lightweight aggregate exhibiting densities in the range of 1100–1350 kg/m 3 and water absorption of 17% which is more than that exhibited by Lytag aggregates. Normal 10 …

The process is known as internal curing and provides several benefits to concrete, including lowered permeability, reduced early age shrinkage, reduced warping, and improved curing conditions in ...

Lightweight aggregates serve the function of dimensionally stable aggregates with suitable density and water absorption and can be prepared from sludge through sintering processes (Huang et al., 2001 ). Huang and Wang (2013) manufactured these aggregates and investigated their structural and nonstructural properties.

The lightweight sustainable construction composites prepared with the waste materials are enormously utilized for the construction activities. The geopolymer concrete (GPC) has emerged as the sustainable construction composite and holds potential to get modified as the lightweight composite. To confirm the sustainability attributes and …
