Abstract

Light weight concrete is more and more popular material in modern building construction. Foamed concrete (FC) is the most prospective kind of light weight concrete.The most effective solution for achieving low density, law water absorption and localization of shrinkage is application of light weight aggregate - foamed glass grains. However, due to high silica content in foam glass aggregate, using these one in a cement-based composites creates a risk of alkali-silica reactions.The aim of this study is to achieve high performance light weight concrete with granulated foamed glass, and to evaluate the possibilities to localize alkali silica reactions using different admixtures, including carbon nanotubes.
