Lightweight concrete shows enhanced thermal insulation and durability, while typically having lower mechanical strength compared to normal concrete.
Key mechanical properties include compressive, flexural, and tensile strength, which can be improved with the addition of pozzolanic materials.
Microstructural characteristics, such as density and porosity, influence the performance of lightweight concrete, evaluated through various analyses.
The use of industrial by-products in lightweight concrete production supports sustainability, as seen in the life cycle assessment outcomes.
