ESCS aggregates add significant value to LWT CMU in addition to reduced weight. The ceramic-like ESCS lightweight aggregate is made by expanding selected raw shale, clay or slate minerals in a rotary kiln at temperatures over 2000°F. The expansion or bloating process makes the finished ESSC aggregate structurally strong, durable, inert …

Lightweight aggregates: As mentioned in the body of this paper, lightweight concrete contains aggregate that is natural or synthetic which weighs less than 1100 kg/m 3. The lightweight is due to the cellular or high internal porous microstructure, which gives this type of aggregate a low bulk specific gravity. The most important aspect of ...
