Abstract:Self-compacting lightweight concrete (SCLC) has become one of the most promising materials in civil construction. This work applies expanded clay as a light aggregate in the production of SCLC, seeking to evaluate the influence of the use of this material on the properties in the fresh state, mainly regarding workability, viscosity, passage capacity and resistance to segregation. In addition, density, compressive strength, thermal and microstructural properties were investigated. The results showed that expand… Show more
