Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main characteristic of lightweight aggregates?
  • Step 1: Understand what aggregates are. Aggregates are materials like sand, gravel, or crushed stone used in concrete.
  • Step 2: Learn about lightweight aggregates. These are special types of aggregates that are lighter than regular aggregates.
  • Step 3: Identify the main characteristic of lightweight aggregates. The main characteristic is that they have a low density.
  • Step 4: Understand what low density means. Low density means that the material weighs less compared to regular aggregates.
  • Step 5: Connect low density to concrete. When lightweight aggregates are used in concrete, they reduce the overall weight of the concrete.
