Determination of absorbed water in lightweight aggregate and quantities of ingredients in lightweight concrete
Summary Using the principles of specific gravity the author has derived and proposed the following two formulas and one method.A formula for determining bulk specific gravity (saturated surface dry basis), for lightweight aggregate, used in lightweight concrete.A formula for determining the total quantity of absorbed water in lightweight aggregate. This formula provides a method which is independent of the saturation of the aggregate with water, and gives the quantity of water which the aggregate contains at a given moment.A method for determining the weight of the components in a unit volume of lightweight concrete. These two formulas and the method are applicable to lightweight concrete which contains lightweight aggregate only, and to lightweight concrete when a portion of the lightweight sand has been replaced with natural sand. The derived formulas have been verified by experimental data and numerical examples illustrate the use of the formulas.
