APPLICABILITY OF NEWLY DEVELOPED HIGH-STRENGTH LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE FOR CIVIL STRUCTURES

An artificial lightweight aggregate made of fly ash was newly developed in Japan and its utilization as a material of structural concrete has been a keen interest because of the performances of high strength, durable characteristics and practical constructability. Described in this paper are the experimental results on the structural and long term mechanical behaviours in addition to the freeze-thaw resistance and pumpability. By combining experimental investigations with the results of trial design of some typical concrete structures (breakwaters, trestles and bridges) using this aggregate, the applicability for construction are also discussed.
