ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The paper describes a development and use of light-weight concrete and lightweight self-compacting concrete (LWSCC) using artificial light-weight aggregate based on expanded clay for coarse fraction of aggregate for transported ready mix concrete.The objective of this research was to evaluate the light-weight concrete on durability of concretes placed in chemically aggressive liquid and gaseous environments (high concentrations of sulphate, chloride ions, automotive gas oil and gaseous CO2 and SO2 environments).
