“…Moreover, there is significant research work on using wastes as substitution material of fine aggregate [22,23] in concrete, in an attempt to further promote sustainability. In this context, run of mine (Pe) perlite, a raw perlite stream of 0-2 mm or 0-4 mm grade which it rejected as a waste from the perlite expansion process, could substitute fine aggregates in concrete.…”

Different structural lightweight concrete mixtures of specific density and strength classes were produced by using various lightweight aggregates (LWAs) such as pumice, perlite, and rice husk ash. Their properties were evaluated in fresh and hardened states with regards to compressive strength and durability parameters such as water absorption (open porosity and capillary absorption), chloride’s penetration resistance, and carbonation depth. According to the results, most LWA concrete mixtures performed satisfactorily in terms of the designed strength and density and they could be used as structural LWA concrete mixtures. As far as the durability of LWA concrete was concerned, open porosity and resistance to the carbonation of LWA concrete were burdened with the porous nature of LWAs, while sorptivity in some mixtures and especially chlorides’ penetration resistance in all mixtures were reported to be significantly improved. The overall strength and durability performance of the designed LWA concrete mixtures could mitigate the concerns stemming from its vulnerability to extreme exposure conditions.

“…From this fundamental idea on concrete's structure one can easily assess the reason for fall in compressive strength of EPS and EV concretes is due to the substitution of porous lightweight EPS and EV aggregates in place of denser normal weight aggregates. This was manifested in many researches 42,60,64–67 . The expansion process in EPS and exfoliation in EV results in porous nature, thereby resulting in a lesser dense and lower strength aggregates 68 .…”

Investigation of mechanical properties and thermal behavior of expanded polystyrene concrete (EPS) and exfoliated vermiculite (EV) concrete has been accomplished in this research. It includes how EPS concrete is prepared by substituting the coarse aggregate with 0, 10, 15, and 20% with EPS aggregates. Similarly, EV concrete is prepared by replacing the fine aggregates with 0, 15, 45, and 60% with EV aggregates. The influence of EPS and EV proportion on mechanical and thermal properties was detected. Thermal properties were studied with an adiabatic box technique. Clear improvement in thermal behavior was observed in comparison with normal concrete and reduction in compressive strength was observed for an appreciable increase in the amount of EPS and EV. Also, the properties like split tensile strength, load–deflection curves, and durability properties of the EPS and EV concretes were experimented.

“…A substituição de agregados tradicionais por agregados leves, incluem os agregados leves naturais, que são as pedra-pomes e escórias vulcânicas, e os artificiais, como a argila expandida, vermiculita, escória expandida e a perlita (ABDEEN;HODHOD, 2010;LYNDA AMEL et al, 2017;SENGUL et al, 2011;TCHAMDJOU et al, 2017). Precisa-se conhecer melhor as características dos agregados leves para que possam ser utilizados, principalmente, devido à sua maior porosidade que limita a resistência obtida pelo concreto.…”

Diferente do concreto convencional, os concretos leves possuem uma maior porosidade devido aos tipos de agregados que são utilizados. Por sua vez, os agregados leves influenciam diretamente nas propriedades dos concretos, devido à sua baixa massa específica, baixa resistência, baixo módulo de elasticidade, alta absorção de água e porosidade. Como consequência, há uma redução na resistência à compressão, resistência à tração e no módulo de elasticidade dos concretos leves. No entanto, as suas vantagens de utilização podem sobressair tais desvantagens, estudos comprovam que os concretos leves possuem uma excelente absorção acústica e isolamento térmico. Portanto, com uma baixa condutividade térmica, o concreto leve possui uma alta absorção de calor, possibilitando tornar o ambiente mais confortável, além de ocasionar um gasto menor de energia. O que proporciona importante destaque, afinal os custos com resfriamento e/ou aquecimento de um edifício ocupam uma grande parcela nos pré-requisitos de uma construção.
