Cellular Lightweight Concrete Journals

Lightweight cellular concrete lcc materials have been used in various civil engineering applications for several decades.

Cellular lightweight concrete journals.

Lightweight cellular concrete provides many advantages in geotechnical applications however its use has been limited because of a lack of understanding of its engineering properties. Basically it is a new material which is currently using in india for walling purpose. Pdf study of cellular light weight concrete ijsrd international journal for scientific research and development academia edu cellular light weight concrete is a versatile material which is made up of cement fly ash and protein based foam. Lightweight cellular concrete materials having four different unit weights were subjected to various amplitudes of sinusoidal waves at effective normal stresses ranging from 25 to 350 kpa.

Cellular light weight concrete gives better sound insulation thermal insulation durable lightweight uniform size shape reduce permeability. It is non load bearing structural element which has lower strength than conventional concrete. In this study laboratory soil tests were conducted on lightweight cellular concrete having four different densities and shear strength parameters coefficients of permeability and at rest earth pressure coefficients were measured. In this study the dynamic behavior of lcc materials was evaluated for possible geotechnical applications such as mechanically stabilized earth mse retaining walls.

Cellular concrete is popular because of its light weight which reduces self weight of structure.
