Study the effect of cement content on the lightweight concrete properties and the extent of compliance with the requirements of structural lightweight concrete according to the code ACI 213R-03


Abstract in English

This study presents definition of the types of lightweight concrete and some studies, which use the volcanic scoria aggregates to produce structural lightweight concrete. Several concrete mixes were designed, and different tests were performed to determine its properties.
