Compressive Strength and Chloride penetration on Semi-Lightweight Concrete Made Up of Artificial AggregatesBy PARTHIBAN P
Abstract: This paper deals with the properties of semi-Light weight concrete prepared by using Light weight wood ash pellets as coarse aggregates. It can be prepared by varying the cement content from 300 to 450 kg/m3. Optimum design mix can be finalised by studying the engineering properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, young’s modulus and rapid chloride penetration test. Various trial mixes have been attempted in the laboratory by …

Effect of Accelerated Curing and Normal Curing Regimes on UFGGBFS-Based Semi-Lightweight ConcreteBy PARTHIBAN P, Karthikeyan J
Abstract: This paper deals with the performance of semi-lightweight concrete (sLWC), prepared by using calcite powder pellets as coarse aggregates which was improved by partial replacement of cement with UFGGBFS (ultrafine ground granulated blast-furnace slag). Cement could be replaced by UFGGBFS as 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, and 70% to enhance the strength and durability properties of concrete. High-range water-reducing admixtures (HRWA) …
