How do I test lightweight concrete to determine it is performing to specs?
Test procedures for lightweight concrete are beyond the scope of this short document; however, lightweight concrete LCM representatives will be happy to assist you in the actual testing or furnishing descriptions of common tests. Properties commonly tested are for its compressive strength The majority of regular concrete produced is in the density range of 2400 kg permeter cube. The last decade has seen great strides in the realm of dense concrete and fantastic compressive strengths which mix designers have achieved. Yet regular concrete has some drawbacks. It is heavy, hard to work with, and after it sets, one cannot cut or nail into it without some difficulty or use of special tools. Some complaints about it include the perception that it is cold and damp. Still, it is a remarkable building material – fluid, strong, relatively cheap, and environmentally innocuous. And, it is available in almost every part of the world. Regular concrete with microscopic air bubbles added up to 7% is c
