Properties and Function of Green Lightweight Aggregate Concrete

Hazim Jwad Rasoul, Abbas Mohammed Kadum alGburi

Abstract: By increasing concern over the huge amount of exploitation of natural aggregates, artificial light-weight combination created from environmental waste could be a possible new supply of structural mixture material. The uses of structural grade light-weight concrete scale back significantly the self-load of a structure and allow larger formed units to be handled. during this paper, the mechanical properties of a structural grade light-weight mixture created with ash and clay are given. Water absorption of the inexperienced mixture is massive however the crushing strength of the ensuing concrete will be high. The 28-day cube compressive strength of the ensuing light-weight mixture concrete with density of 1590 kg/m3 and individual strength of 34 MPa. expertise of utilizing the inexperienced light-weight mixture concrete in manufacture of concrete components is additionally mentioned.
