AVINASH M AND ET AL (2015)

The author studied compressive strength of high performance lightweight


concrete(HPLWC) made with air entraining agent and expanded clay. These are
lightweight aggregate. In the production of LWC the air entraining agent was
used as an additive and expanded clay was used as apartial replacement for
normal aggregate . Again in both cases of production of LWC the cement was
replaced by GROUND GRANULATED BLAST FURNACE SLAG(GGBFS) and
METAKOLIIN(MK) in two different percentages .The compressive studied for cubr
specimens of 100mm*100mm*100mm.The results showed that compressive
strength of concrete with 0.4% air entraining agent with 10% MK and 30%
GGBFS yielded better strength.With expanded clay of 25% was used as
lightbweight aggregate with 12% MKand 28% GGBFS gave better strength.
