Development of Self-Compacting Lightweight Concrete

Development of Self-Compacting Lightweight Concrete

For RFP Reinforced Floating Concrete Structures

Abstract 

The economic production of self-compacting, high strength lightweight concrete was successfully demonstrated with large-scale precast production. It is found that the workability of such mixes are inherently more sensitive to various production variables than conventional concrete mixes. Therefore, successful implementation of self-compacting lightweight concrete on full-scale project will require both trial batching with actual production equipment and materials, and good quality control of the production/placement operations
