Compared with ordinay concrete, weight of lightweight aggregate concrete could be lower 20%-40% under same bearing capacity. Mixed with some given steel fibers in it, crack resistance and flexural strength will be improved. Once lightweight aggregate concrete mixed with steel fibers meets the requirements of frost resistance, it could be applied to most civil engineerings in a cold area. In this paper, the frost resistance mechanism of steel fiber reinforced lightweight aggregate concrete is introduced. The research status of frost resistance of steel fiber reinforced lightweight aggregate concrete is reviewed including the effects of water cement ratio, aggregate, mineral admixture and amount of fiber, frost resistance experimatal methods and engineering applications etc. Some further researches are prospected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
