Q. Is it appropriate to reinforce cellular concrete with synthetic fibers?
Q. Do the bubbles in lightweight concrete collapse, reducing its volume?
Ans. One of the most useful features of a lightweight concrete system is the system's ability to be manufactured in a wide range of low densities and strengths. Application requirements for lightweight concrete range from very light density low strength fill dirt replacement to higher strength structural lightweight concrete. To accommodate this wide range of performance properties lightweight concrete has developed a mix design chart, which will illustrate the basics of making this wide range of materials from just one lightweight concrete concentrate. Since, "SOLEID R & D" has introduced, a Nano Admixture in the lightweight concrete core, it has improved bond strength, curing time, and reduce CO2 emissions. Those days, the contractor now, has available to a wide variety of cost effective, high performance, lighter lightweight concrete SOLEID products.Q. What are the different densities and strengths available?
