Guide for Structural Lightweight-Aggregate Concrete
Also Known As:
ACI 213R-14 is a guide for Structural Lightweight-Aggregate Concrete. It provides a comprehensive overview of the technology and application of lightweight-aggregate concrete for structural purposes. The guide includes a definition of lightweight-aggregate concrete and discusses the production methods and inherent properties of structural lightweight aggregates.
The guide summarizes the findings of laboratory studies and the accumulated experience from the successful use of lightweight-aggregate concrete. It also reviews the performance of structural lightweight aggregate concrete in service.
ACI 213R-14 covers various aspects of lightweight-aggregate concrete, including proportioning, mixing, transporting, and placing. The properties of hardened concrete are discussed, and the guide also provides design guidance for structural concrete in reference to ACI 318, which is the code for the design of concrete structures.
