Lightweight aggregates (LWA) are defined as construction materials that have a bulk density lower than that of common construction aggregates (Choudhry and Hadley, 2009). From: Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Technologies , 2017

Laterlite Expanded Clay is a lightweight aggregate (LWA), with insulating characteristics made by expanding special natural clays at high temperature (1200°C).

Dec 27, 2021 · Experimental results show that masonry wastes including brick and mortar as well as fly ash are suitable materials for producing lightweight aggregates with a granule density of less than 1000 kg/m 3 with the optimum sintering temperatures and the residence time in the range from 1220 °C to 1250 °C and, 6 to 9 min, respectively.

Today LWAC is used widely across the world as a lightweight and durable alterna-tive to structural, normal density concrete. Typical applications are bridges, slabs, floaters, extensions, balconies, high rise buildings and constructions where lightweight are important.

Feb 3, 2001 · Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) refers to concrete with a dry apparent density of no more than 1950 kg/m3 prepared with ceramic pellets or other porous lightweight aggregates as coarse aggregates and natural sand or lightweight sand as fine aggregates.

Nov 1, 2022 · The use of brick waste (BW) as potential partial cement or aggregate replacement materials is summarized in this review where the performance is discussed in the form of the mechanical...

Jul 28, 2020 · Those problems can be solved by making use of CDW as building materials. This paper focuses on a research work, where CDW, in the form of a mixture of brick and mortar, are burned into lightweight aggregates (LWA), which are …

Mar 28, 2022 · Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) exhibits the advantages of thermal insulation, reduces energy consumption building costs, improves building efficiency and easy construction. Furthermore, the utilization of industrial wastes in concrete is advantageous in terms of environmental sustainability. 1. Introduction.

In the presented work, sustainable High-Performance Lightweight Aggregate Concretes (HPLWACs) containing crushed clay bricks from the demolition and construction wastes as coarse lightweight...

Leca® LWA is manufactured of dedicated well sorted clays carefully heated to around 1200° C for expansion in a rotary kiln, followed by sorting and sieving.
