The range of densities of Light Weight Concrete varies from 600-1800 kgs/ cum. A large portion of the load taken into account while designing a structure comes from the self weight of the concrete used. The ability to reduce this self weight of concrete, especially for non-structural applications, results in good financial planning by way of reduced manpower and framework cost etc.
• Durable and sustainable
• Considerable gain up of strength continued to later stage
• Hydration heat is low
• Cracking is alleviated
• Consistence retention is much better
• Light Weight Concrete is used in Mass foundations
• Underground Structures
• Concreting of pavements
