Functionalized lightweight concretes with mineral and biogenic aggregates
The Institute for Building Materials in Construction Engineering (IWB) at Stuttgart University studies concretes made of lightweight inorganic as well as organic aggregates. Its research has the objective of providing the future construction sector with lightweight concretes that, in addition to low concrete density, feature favorable thermal conductivity and high concrete strength. The objective is therefore the development of lightweight concretes that are suitable for manufacture of external walls of monolithic construction. As for lightweight aggregate concrete (LAC) with open structure,...
