Abstract
Three types of lightweight aggregates were tested for water absorption.
Two of the aggregates that were made from expanded shale gave distinctly
different water absorption rates and the reason for the differences is discussed.
The lightweight aggregate made from expanded slag showed significantly lower
absorption rates. Which would be a distinct advantage for engineers involved in
placing and consolidating lightweight concrete.
