The flexural strength of light-weight aggregate concrete is lower than the normal weight concrete as in compressive strength (Hassanpour et al., 2012). The flexural strength of light-weight aggregate concrete can be increased by the inclusion of fibers (Hanif et al., 2016; Li et al., 2017; Libre et al., 2011).

As the minimum requirement to use the coal ash and lightweight aggregate with various chemical properties for concrete aggregate, the loss on ignition, the SO 3 content and the amount of chloride should be examined, and it is also necessary to examine heavy metal leaching even though it is not included in the standard specifications in …

Lightweight Aggregate Overview. Lightweight is an extruded, expanded clay product. Light in nature (25% lighter than stone aggregate), it is often used in high-rises, parking decks, or other elevated concrete projects. …

Lightweight Concrete Definition: concrete of substantially lower density than that made using aggregates of normal density; consists entirely of lightweight aggregate …

The fine aggregate was natural sand with a specific gravity of 2.65 and a fineness modulus of 2.8. The coarse aggregate was natural crushed stone with a particle size of about 5 to 10 mm and a specific gravity of 2.65. The lightweight aggregate was an artificial lightweight aggregate, as shown in Figure 1. It met the requirements of ASTM C …

White light, which contains polychromic visible components, affects the rhythm of organisms and has the potential for advanced applications of lighting, display, and communication. Compared with traditional incandescent bulbs and inorganic diodes, pure organic materials are superior in terms of better compatibility, flexibility, structural …
