CIP 36 - Structural Lightweight Concrete WHAT is Structural Lightweight Concrete? Structural lightweight concrete has an in-place density (unit 3 3 weight) on the order of 90 to 115 lb/ ft (1440 to 1840 kg/m ) compared to normalweight concrete with a density in the range of 140 to 150 lb/ ft3 3 (2240 to 2400 kg/m ). For structural applications the concrete strength should be greater than 2500 psi (17.0 MPa). The concrete mixture is made with a lightweight coarse aggregate. In some cases a portion or the entire fine aggregate may be a lightweight product. Sprinkling Aggregate in a Stockpile Lightweight aggregates used in structural lightweight concrete are typically expanded shale, clay or slate materials Structural lightweight concrete has been used for bridge that have been fired in a rotary kiln to develop a porous decks, piers and beams, slabs and wall elements in steel and structure. Other products such as air-cooled blast furnace concrete frame buildings, parking structures, tilt-up walls, slag are also used. There are other classes of non-structural topping slabs and composite slabs on metal deck. lightweight concretes with lower density made with other HOW is Structural Lightweight Concrete Used? aggregate materials and higher air voids in the cement paste matrix, such as in cellular concrete.
