Abstract:

This is the final report of a very comprehensive study of structural quality lightweight aggregate and lightweight aggregate concrete using aggregates produced in Texas. The work was sponsored by the Texas State Highway Department and was done as a part of research project RP-7 entitled "Use of Prefabricated and/or Prestressed Elements in Highway Structures." Project RP-7 was activated in April 1954 and terminated in August 1959. The study was undertaken for three primary reasons. First, large areas of the state do not have satisfactory sand and gravel aggregates within economical hauling distance and many of the better deposits in other areas are rapidly becoming depleted. Second, the reduced dead load in lightweight concrete structures makes it very desirable to make more general use of this material. The third reason is that the more advanced design principles adopted in the recent past and those that will be adopted in the future demand a thorough knowledge of the properties of the material to be used. This report presents the results of the investigation.
