The paper reports the fundamental performances of lightweight concrete with density of 1.4, based on an experimental study on the properties of composite slabs with trussed steel decks using superlightweight concrete under bending moment. The test results by full scale specimens showed that the composite slab using trussed steel decks and the super-lightweight concrete had the same capacity with the composite slab using normal concrete in strength, deformation, and crack propagation, It was concluded that the calculated values by the conventional theoretical method showed good agreement with the experimental results.
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.
