Introduction to Special Type of Concretes and Mix Design of Concrete: Probabilistic concept in mix design approach
1.1 Light weight concrete Mixture made with light weight coarse aggregate such as shale, clay or silt giving low density. The density of light weight aggregate is less than 1200 kg/m3. Merits: Minimize the dead load of the building. Simple to handle which decrease the cost of transportation. Enhances workability. Thermal conductivity decreases. Stronger and … Read more
