Influence of Lightweight Aggregates and GRP By-Product Powders on the Properties of Self-Compacting Concretes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Self-compacting lightweight concrete was developed to attain good workability, high compressive strength (at least 50 MPa), minimum cracks, and low specific weight (less than 2000 kg/m3), as well as low elastic modulus (about 30 GPa). The attention was also focused on sustainability of this construction material, which was improved by using in the mixture both GRP industrial by-product as filler and artificial (light expanded clay) or recycled (demolished concrete) as coarse aggregates replacing natural gravel. Satisfactory, if not excellent, results were obtained from the collected experimental data.
