Durability of Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate Concrete

The paper describes a development and use of lightweight concrete and lightweight self-compacting concrete using artificial lightweight aggregate based on expanded clay for ready mix concrete and precast elements. The objective of this research was to evaluate the lightweight concrete on durability of concretes placed in chemically aggressive liquid and gaseous environments (high concentrations of sulphate, chloride ions, automotive gas, oil and gaseous CO2 and SO2 environments).
