DEVELOPMENT OF VERY LOW DENSITY STRUCTURAL LIGHHTWEIGHT CONCRETE. IN: HIGH-PERFORMANCE STRUCTURAL LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE

Presented are test results of very low density structural lightweight concrete mictures developed in the laboratory in order to find a suitable mixture for use on building rehabilitation project. The incorporation of synthetic fibers proved beneficial, as that permitted an increased volume of the lower density coarse aggregate. The mixture density was thus reduced while precluding aggregate seggregation and helping to minimize sagging of the fresh concrete when placed at a high slope. Recommendations for future research include investigating the influence of air, density, fiber and cementitous materials on the rheological, mechanical and durability properties of very low density structural concrete.
