Q. What are the disadvantages of lightweight concrete, compared to typical concrete?
Q. Is lightweight concrete chemically compatible with common additives?
Q. What additives are common to cellular concrete?
Q. What is the correct water to cement ratio for the cement water slurry?
Q. Does lightweight concrete mix contain either fine or course aggregate?
Q. What type of cement is appropriate for lightweight concrete?
Q. Is it appropriate to reinforce cellular concrete with synthetic fibers?
Q. Do the bubbles in lightweight concrete collapse, reducing its volume?
Q. What are the different densities and strengths available?
Q. How much does lightweight concrete cost?
Q. Is lightweight concrete suitable for long-term use as a marine float device?
Ans. At the lower densities, lightweight concrete will float, and in many cases float indefinitely. Because of its limited impact and abrasion resistance, lightweight concrete used for marine flotation should be encased and used for the fill of a float. For example, a marine float could be made with sealed drums filled with low-density lightweight concrete.Q. How do I test lightweight concrete to determine it is performing to specs?
