This paper presents an experimental study on the permeability and the pore structure of lightweight concrete with fly ash, zeolite powder, or silica fume, in comparison to that of normal weight aggregate concrete. The results showed that the mineral admixtures can improve the anti-permeability performance of lightweight aggregate concrete, and mixed with compound mineral admixtures further more. The resistance to chloride-ion permeability of light weight concrete was higher than that of At the same strength grade, the anti-permeability performance of lightweight aggregate concrete is better than that of normal weight aggregate concrete. The anti-permeability performance of LC40 was similar to that of C60. Mineral admixtures can obviously improve the pore structure of lightweight aggregate concrete, the total porosity reduced while the pore size decreased.

Binder Ratio

In this study, the fixed water/binder ratio is 0.40, four mineral admixtures: fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (BFS), desulphurization slag (DLS), and glass LED powder (GLP), were added to lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC), replacing 10% or 30% of the cement content, to study their heat insulation efficiency and engineering performance and to compare the economic impact of mineral admixtures on LWAC. In terms of heat insulation, the thermal conductivity (K value) of the controlled sample was 0.484 kcal/(m.h. °C) and the addition of mineral admixtures changed the concrete unit weight and water absorption ratio, thus reducing the K value by 0.41% to 25.71% and improving the heat insulation. As the mineral admixture hydration products and chemical contents differed, the heat insulation of the LWAC varied as well. The study indicated that the heat insulation is the greatest in concrete with the addition of 30% FA, followed by concrete with the addition of 10% GLP. The addition of mineral admixtures is 30%, the resistivity is 72–455% of the control group, and the resistivity of FA and GLP is higher than the control group. The study is indicated that the proper addition of mineral powder material has an apparent effect on increasing heat insulation efficiency.

High performance lightweight aggregate concrete is a kind of lightweight environment-protected building material with high strength, good workability, volume stability and durability, which is widely used in large scale engineering and some important engineering. In this paper water-binder ratio, fly ash content, pre-wetting time, sand ratio were tested to explore the comprehensive strength of lightweight aggregate concrete(LWAC). SEM was used to observe the microstructure characteristics of the specimens. The results showed that LWAC produced in the experiment present good performance, whose apparent density was 1760 Kg/m3～1930Kg/m3, 28d compressive strength was 55MPa～60MPa. Reasonable amounts of sand ratio(38%) and mineral admixtures(10%) were exited and the self-strength of lightweight aggregate played an important role in the preparation of LWAC. In the meanwhile, lightweight aggregates which were pre-wetted effectively increased the later strength.

Different Grain Size

In view of the global sustainable development, it is imperative that supplementary cementing materials (SCM) be used for replacing cement in the concrete industry and several researchers have shown that mineral admixtures can enhance the workability of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) mixture and its strength. In view of the beneficial effects of using SCM in LWAC, this article aims to verify the possible influence of the use of different types of SCM in the segregation phenomenon of LWAC. Three different SCM were studied: Silica Fume (SF), Fly Ash (FA) and Posidonia oceanica Ash (PA). For each SCM, three mixtures were prepared, considering three different percentage substitutions of cement. An image analysis technique was applied to estimate the segregation in each sample. The results show that a substitution of cement by other materials with different grain size, considering a constant water binder ratio, may also result in a variation of the consistency of concrete and the viscosity of the mortar matrix, which may contribute to increase or reduce segregation.
