Test Machinery System of the Pressure Water Absorption Inside the Lightweight Aggregate Concrete

Abstract:

Concrete is a composite construction material composed primarily of aggregate, cement, and water. While different formulations provided varied properties. Some times engineering structure need to expand its span length, the commonly thinking is how to decrease the dead load by no harming the structure capacity. The lightweight aggregate concrete focus on the light weight of the aggregate and it can be obtained by using nature stone or artificial stones. The application can decrease the weight by lowering the structure body with 20%-30% total weight. This article proposed an accuracy test machinery system for the lightweight aggregate concrete to determine the water absorption behavior while in pumping pressure.
