Three types of lightweight aggregate were used in this study for the production of lightweight concrete. These types are red block aggregate, red ceramic aggregate and white thermostone aggregate. All these types have been brought from construction waste. A comparison of the properties of lightweight concrete with normal concrete is the most important goal of this study. The most important properties of concrete, which were compared with each other is compressive strength, static modulus of elasticity, splitting tensile strength and slump flow.展开更多
