| dc.description.abstract | Lightweight Concretes Cylinder has a history of more than two-thousand years and its
technical development is still proceeding. This review starts with a retrospective that gives
an idea of the wide range of applications covered by lightweight Concretes Cylinder during
the last century. Although lightweight Concretes Cylinder is well known and has proven its
technical potential in a wide range of applications over the past decades, there are still
hesitations and uncertainties in practice.. Therefore, aspects are highlighted that often are
the cause of misunderstandings, such as nomenclature or the informational value of certain
tests. Frequently occurring problems regarding the mix design and production of
lightweight Concretes Cylinder are addressed and the unintended consequences are
described. Sylhet sand was used as partial replacement of EPS beads (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%
Total 15-cylinder specimen of 100mm diameter and 200mm height and 10 slab specimens
were prepared for testing purposes. Performance of the lightweight Concretes Cylinder was
assessed in terms of their compressive strength, water permeability, chloride ion
permeability and thermal conductivity tests. Compressive strength of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%
EPS lightweight Concretes Cylinder are. Density of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% EPS lightweight
Concretes Cylinder are 2580, 2330, 1160, kg/m3 | en_US |
