Effects of Expansive Agent and Steel Fiber on the Properties of the Fly Ash Ceramsite Lightweight Aggregate Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

Portland cement, silica fume, superplasticizer and fly ash cemamsite were used to obtain a high strength lightweight aggregate concrete with lower water to binder ratio. An enhancement effect on the strength was gained by adding steel fiber. When the expansive agent added with the steel fiber a synergistic reinforcing effect on the compressive strength, tensile strength and bending strength was obtained because of more energy consumed to pull the fibers out under the different loads.
