Executive Summary | The artificial super lightweight aggregate (SLA) with isolated void has recently been developed in Japan, which is characterized as the water absorption of about 3% and a density ranged from 850 to 1200kg/m3. Concrete mixed with SLA exhibits excellent performances compared to that with conventional lightweight aggregates. Therefore, SLA concrete has high potential for use in various infrastructures including marine structures. |
