Abstract
The structure and properties of sintered fly ash lightweight aggregate was modified by heat and polymer treatments to obtain aggregates different in their strength, absorption and pozzolanic activity. These properties of the aggregates were accounted for by changes in their microstructure. The strength of concretes of equal effective water cement ratio prepared from these aggregates was determined at different ages to resolve the influence of the aggregate properties. It was shown that the strength of the concrete could not be accounted for by the strength of the aggregates only, and it is suggested that the absorption and pozzolanic activity of the aggregates can have an influence on the strength developed.
