Interdependence of microstructure and strength of structural lightweight aggregate concrete
AbstractThe demand for lightweight concrete is steadily increasing because of economic and practical considerations. Hence, the inherent internal and external features of lightweight aggregates have been a subject of intense research in recent years. This study provides new insight into the micro-structural and chemical factors which influence the strength properties of structural lightweight aggregate concrete. These are described with respect to four expanded clay lightweight aggregates used in nine concrete compositions containing various types and proportions of dispersing agents such as water-reducing admixtures and superplasticizers, with silica fume and ground granulated blast-furnace slag as optional mineral admixtures. The microstructural characteristics of the paste-aggregate interface and the paste porosity of these concretes are discussed. The methods used include scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, optical microscopy and compressive strength testing.
