Mechanical properties of high-strength lightweight concrete
Min-Hong Zhang,Odd E. Gjørv +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of high-strength lightweight concrete up to 100 MPa with a corresponding density of 1865 kg/sq m were investigated and the shape of the ascending part of the stress-strain curve was more linear than that of lightweight concrete with low to medium strength.

Permeability of High-Strength Lightweight Concrete
Min-Hong Zhang,Odd E. Gjørv +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the peremeability of high strength lightweight concrete appears to be more dependent on the porosity of the mortar matrix than the porosa of the lightweight aggregate, and there appears an optimum cement content for permeability.

Properties of hardened concrete containing treated expanded polystyrene beads
R. Sri Ravindrarajah,A.J. Tuck +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the results of an experimental investigation into the properties of hardened concrete containing chemically treated expanded polystyrene beads and showed that the strength, stiffness, and chemical resistance of polystructure aggregate concrete of a constant density were affected by the water to cement ratio.
