(57) A durable concrete composition includes a cementitious material comprising cement and ground expanded perlite, coarse aggregate. fine aggregate, and sufficient water for adequate workability. The resulting concrete displays a number of superior properties to conventional concrete, including extremely high thermal resistance coupled with high strength, low chloride ion permeability, and good early...
