Lightweight concrete with Algerian limestone dust. Part I: Study on 30% replacement to normal aggregate at early age

The mechanical characteristics of the lightweight aggregate concretes (LWAC) strongly depend on the proportions of aggregates in the formulation. In particular, because of their strong porosity, the lightweight aggregates are much more deformable than the cementations matrix and their influence on c...

Zusammenfassung:The mechanical characteristics of the lightweight aggregate concretes (LWAC) strongly depend on the proportions of aggregates in the formulation. In particular, because of their strong porosity, the lightweight aggregates are much more deformable than the cementations matrix and their influence on concrete strength is complex. This paper focuses on studying the physical performance of concrete formulated with substitution of 30% of coarse aggregates by limestone dust. In this article an attempt is made to provide information on the elastic properties of lightweight concrete (LWC) from tests carried out under uniaxial compression conditions. The results of Young modulus, Poisson's ratio, and compressive and flexural tensile strength tests on concrete are presented. The concretes obtained present good mechanical performances reaching 34.99 MPa compressive strength, 6.39 MPa flexural tensile strength and in front of 36 MPa Young modulus.Original Abstract: As propriedades mecanicas de concretos sao fortemente dependentes das propriedades e proporgoes de agregados presentes na formulacao. Em particular, devido a sua elevada porosidade, agregados leves sao muito mais deformdveis do que a matriz de cimento e sua influencia sobre a resistencia do concreto e complexa. Este trabalho tem como objetivo o estudo do desempenho flsico de concreto formulado com substituigao de 30% de agregados analisar a influencia das propriedades desses agregados sobre o comportamento mecanico de concretos leves depois de uma abordagem experimental. Como um primeiro passo, que caracterizou os concretos leves. Em seguida, procedeu-se a busca de uma formulagao de concreto leve, adequado em termos de implementagao e para substituir agregados graudos por cargas de calcario. O concreto obtido tem bom desempenho mecanico ate uma resistencia a compressao de 34,99 MPa, uma resistencia a traccao de 6,39 MPa a flexao e modulo de elasticidade de cerca de 36 MPa.
