Abstract:The lightweight concrete (LWC) has been successfully employed, by the ancient Romans and its popularity has grown for its reduced density and higher thermal insulation capabilities. Compared to ordinary mix concrete (OMC), LWC can substantially lessen the dead load of high-rise structures. The density of LWC is comparatively low i.e. 300 to 1850 kg/m3, whereas conventional concrete has a unit weight of 2200kg/m3 to 2600kg/m3. Many pieces of research on adding disposable industrial wastes LWC focus on "semi-lig… Show more
