| Abstract Scope |
Lightweight concretes made from expanded clay are economically viable, as they have thermal and acoustic insulation features. In addition, due to the expanded clay with a lower specified mass, it provides a reduction in the loads acting on the structures. In view of this, the present work carries out characterization tests on the concrete produced with expanded clay. The tests carried out on the physical characterization of 22mm expanded clay, as well as unit mass, granulometry and water absorption by total aggregated immersion. The results found in concrete, which had a unit mass of 1800 kg / m³ due to the presence of expanded clay and water absorption were within the limits of the standard. After breaking the concrete, the samples were subjected to SEM, EDS and XRD for microstructural characterization. The results obtained in EDS and XRD showed the characteristic peaks of its constituents. |
