Effect of aggregate size and polyethylene sheet curing on me-chanical and microstructural properties of lightweight expanded clay aggregate concrete
This study assessed the effect of lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) grain size and curing with polyethylene concrete curing film (PCCF) on microstructure, interfacial transition zone (ITZ), and compressive strength of structural lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) produced with two different Dmax (16 or 22.4 mm). To this end, 2 series of normal weight aggregate concretes (NWAC) and 6 series of LWAC incorporating 40% by vol. unprewetted LECA having (0-3, 3-8, or 8-16 mm) grain sizes were evaluated by using unit weight, compressive strength tests at 1, 7, and 28 days and SEM-EDX observations. Preventing the moisture loss from fresh concrete through PCCF curing had positive effects on compressive strength up to 14 and 9% for 1 and 28 days respectively. Shell thickness of LECA considerably increased with the decrease in LECA grain size. Thus, the compressive strength of LECA and LWAC increased by the decrease in LECA grain size. LWAC containing 0-3 mm LECA, achieved up to 21% higher compressive strength to weight ratio compared with the NWAC with the aid of the pozzolanic reactivity of fine LECA particles.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Construction is aimed at professionals, constructors, academics, researchers, companies, architects, engineers, and anyone who wishes to expand and update their knowledge about construction. We therefore invite all researchers, academics, and professionals to send their contributions for assessment and possible publication in this journal. The publications are free of publication charges.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the Journal of Construction are:
1. To disseminate new knowledge in all areas related to construction (Building, Civil Works, Materials, Business, Education, etc.).
2. To provide professionals in the area with material for discussion to refresh and update their knowledge.
3. To disseminate new applied technologies in construction nationally and internationally.
4. To provide national and foreign academics with an internationally endorsed medium in which to share their knowledge and debate the topics raised.
