SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Presents a picture of lightweight aggregate concrete, from the historical background, aggregate production, proportioning and production of concrete, to applications in structures. This book describes the physical properties and chemical durability. It also covers fire resistance, an important aspect of the safety of the structure.
