Book Lightweight Aggregate Concrete

Download or read book Lightweight Aggregate Concrete written by Satish Chandra and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2002-10-28 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of the increasing use and demand for lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC), there is still a lack of adequate explanations to understand the mechanisms responsible for the strength and durability properties of LWAC. This book is written to give an overall picture of LWAC, from the historical background, aggregate production, proportioning and production of concrete, to applications in structures. Physical properties and chemical durability are described in detail. The physical properties include density, strength, shrinkage, and elasticity. Chemical durability includes resistance to acids, chloride ingress, carbonation, and freeze-thaw resistance. Fire resistance is also included, which is seldom considered, but is a very important aspect of the safety of the structure. Microstructure development and its relation to the durability properties of LWAC generally are not highlighted in the literature. The development of bonds, the microstructure with different binder systems, and different types of lightweight aggregates are explained. They show how lightweight aggregate concrete differs from normal weight concrete. The chapters on chloride ingress and freeze-thaw resistance are detailed because of the use of LWAC in offshore construction. The economical aspects of using LWAC are also reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the fact that although the cost of LWAC is high, the total cost of construction has to be considered, including the cost of transport, reinforcement, etc. When these are considered then LWAC becomes cheaper and attractive. The life cycle cost of the concrete is another consideration for calculating long-term savings on maintenance costs.

Book A Recommended Synthetic Coarse Aggregate Classification System

Download or read book A Recommended Synthetic Coarse Aggregate Classification System written by William Burl Ledbetter and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED ON SYNTHETIC AGGREGATES FOR HIGHWAY USE. A REVISION IS PRESENTED OF THE RECOMMENDED SYNTHETIC AGGREGATE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FOR HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION, BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH STUDIES. THIS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE OR SUPPLANT EXISTING REQUIREMENTS FOR SYNTHETIC AGGREGATES IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION, BUT IS OFFERED AS A SUPPLEMENT TO EXISTING AGGREGATE REQUIREMENTS. THE DRY LOOSE UNIT WEIGHT IS USED AS A QUALITY ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE DRY LOOSE WEIGHT DETERMINATION BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH TEX-404-A, EXCEPT THAT THE AGGREGATES SHALL BE TESTED IN AN OVEN-DRY CONDITION. THE SAMPLES SHALL CONSIST OF THE ONE-HALF TO NO. 4 FRACTION AND SHALL HAVE 30-70 PERCENT BY WEIGHT RETAINED ON THE 3/8 INCH SIEVE. EXAMINATION OF THE TEXAS HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT AGGREGATE GRADATION SPECIFICATIONS FOR PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE, SEAL COATS AND HOT MIX ASPHALT PAVEMENTS REVEALS THAT A MAJOR PORTION OF THE AGGREGATE SKELETON WILL BE INCLUDED WITHIN THIS SIZE RANGE. COARSE SYNTHETIC AGGREGATE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO CLASSES AND EACH CLASS IS SUBDIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS OF DESCENDING PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS. THE MAXIMUM UNIT WEIGHT VALUES USED FOR GROUP 1 (55 PCF) WERE TAKEN FROM ASTM DESIGNATION C330-64T. IN ORDER TO DELINEATE GROUP 2 FROM GROUP 1, THE MINIMUM UNIT WEIGHTS FOR GROUP 2 WERE SET AT 55 PCF. THE USE OF THE 35 PCF MINIAL WEIGHT FOR GROUP 1 IS TO ENSUE THAT ONLY STRUCTURAL QUALITY COARSE AGGREGATES WILL BE USED. A TABLE IS PRESENTED SHOWING THE PERMISSIBLE COARSE AGGREGATE GROUP DEFINED FOR EACH HIGHWAY FUNCTION, FROM SURFACE TREATMENT TO BASE MATERIALS.
