| Abstract | The clay source materials, including the Bangkok soft
clay from AIT campus, shale from Cha Am District, and shale
from Lam Ta Kong Dam Site , were collected and bloated to make
lightweight aggregates at predetermined firing conditions. The
physical , mechanical and mineraloaical properties. of the
lightweight aggregates we~e studie~ in the la~orat~ry . The
concrete specimens were made with lightweight aggregates with
predetermined proportions. The physical and mechanical
propertie s of the lightweight concretes were s tudied and
compared with the specification in ASTM. All testing results
satisfied the requirements specified by ASTM and Construction
industry. All three source materials can be bloated and can be
adequately used as lightweight aggregates to make structural
concrete . |
