When producing lightweight aggregate concrete, an effort is taken to ensure that the aggregates used are light in weight. The most common types of aggregates are natural aggregates and man-made aggregates. However, in most circumstances, artificial aggregates are favored over natural aggregates because artificial aggregates can be …
Draining, Retention and Cleaning of Agriculture, Storm and Run-off Waters. Storm Water Management is an obvious application for LECA® LWA - Water interacts with LECA® Lightweight Aggregate in a way that allows the material to provide water detention and drainage..

with data on lightweight concrete where the fine aggregate was natural sand‖, ACI 231R-03. Despite the ACI 213 definition of structural-grade lightweight concrete that has an equilibrium dry density ranging between 90 to 115 lb/ft³ (1,440 and 1,850 kg/m³), the report also adds that ―it should be understood that this definition is not ...
The primary purpose of developing green high-performance light-weight aggregate concrete is to reduce the carbon footprint. It was reported that the LWAC can be prepared by using recycled materials as aggregate and cementitious binders . As a result, the following two aspects can be considered as the future development trends for …
In the mixtures, basaltic-pumice (scoria) was used as lightweight aggregate. A control lightweight concrete mixture made with lightweight basaltic-pumice (scoria) containing normal Portland cement as the binder was prepared. The control lightweight concrete mixture was modified by replacing 20% of the cement with fly ash.
Lightweight aggregate concrete is prepared by using lightweight aggregate or low density aggregate such as volcanic pumice, clay, …

Lightweight aggregate is a porous material. It has excellent water storage capacity and at the same time, it could release water quickly, making it a promising internal curing material for reducing the early autogenous shrinkage of concrete. The lightweight aggregate has usually been employed to replace fine aggregate and coarse aggregate in HPC.
Processed or Synthetic Aggregate Concrete. For some lightweight concrete formulations, either processed by-products or synthetic material is used to form the aggregate. Expanded shale or clay – prepared shale or clay materials are heated, which expand the materials as the gasses within expand. Other materials with higher …
