Lightweight Concrete with Tailor-Made Expanded Aggregates
New lightweight aggregates are produced by feedstock recycling from heterogeneous and fine-grained masonry rubble. Testing of these tailor-made expanded aggregates in lightweight concrete provides information about their quality and performance. Following a brief characterization of the tailor-made expanded aggregates used in concrete production, the concrete mix design is presented and some results of the tests of hardened concrete are discussed.
