Lightweight Coarse Aggregate Floats Concrete Construction
The coarse particles in lightweight-aggregate concrete have a specific gravity lower than that of the mortar and consequently they tend to rise during vibration. The first thing to do, if not already done, is to introduce normalweight sand into the mix in place of lightweight sand.

What Is Lightweight Aggregate Concrete And Its Uses?
The lightweight aggregate is a kind of coarse aggregate which is used in the production of lightweight concrete products like concrete block, structural concrete, and pavement. The shape of the lightweight aggregate used in concrete can be cubical, rounded, angular, or of any other shape. The shape and texture can directly affect its workability.

Lightweight Aggregates: How Do You Make the Right Decision?
Jul 18, 2011 If choosing a standard, readily available lightweight coarse aggregate replacement such as expanded shales, clays, slates and slag, one can expect to reduce the weight of a yard of concrete to approximately 95 lb/ft 3 to 115 lb/ft 3 (1,520 kg/m 3 to 1,840 kg/m 3) or a maximum potential reduction of approximately 35% by dry weight.

For large-scale concreting operations without complex reinforcement, large aggregates of size 80 mm, 40 mm, 20 mm are used. For the simple construction of residential or other buildings, 20 mm is the maximum size will be used.
