the name itself says the concrete used here is of light weight.....the best example of this kind of structure is PANTHELON....
Dry lean concrete is used as a sub base for structural concrete. It contains much less cement and more sand compared to structural concrete.
Wet concrete weighs about 4,000 per cubic yard. Some types of concrete weigh more or less. Lightweight concrete weighs about 1,000 pounds less.
st4 is just a standard type concrete probably comparable to c40 structural concrete, pav 2 is the equivalent to c35 concrete with air bubbles, mostly used in paving works
Epoxy resins are used with aggregate (silica sand) to produce epoxy mortar or epoxy concrete, which is used for structural repairs of concrete.

the lightweight concrete weights are depends upon their aggregates.... basically the weight of lightweight concrete is 50lb/cubic feet
A plain concrete with a large ratio aggregate to cement than structural concrete. It is used for filling and not structural duties

Structural concrete is used in the construction of buildings, bridges, dams, etc. Typically there are more codes governing the use of concrete as a construction material and the concrete used has higher strength. Non-structural concrete is typically defined as being used for the construction of non structural elements. These could be parking lots, sidewalks, handicap ramps, etc. A lower strength concrete can be used and there are less rules pertaining to its use.
Concrete cardboard tubes offer several benefits for construction projects. They are lightweight, easy to handle, and eco-friendly. Additionally, they provide structural support, reduce waste, and can be easily recycled after use.

Yes, structural steel that will be encased in concrete is typically primed with a protective paint coat. This primer helps prevent corrosion during transportation and installation, even though it will eventually be covered by concrete. The coating also ensures better adhesion of the concrete to the steel, enhancing the overall structural integrity. However, it's essential to follow specific guidelines and standards for surface preparation and coating application.
The main difference between normal weight concrete and lightweight concrete by volume is the density of the aggregate used in the mix. Normal weight concrete contains aggregate with a density around 2400 kg/m3, while lightweight concrete uses lightweight aggregate such as expanded clay, shale, or shale to reduce the overall density of the concrete. The reduced density of lightweight concrete makes it more suitable for applications where weight is a concern, such as in construction of high-rise buildings or for insulation purposes.
To make concrete planters lightweight and durable, you can add lightweight aggregates such as perlite or vermiculite to the concrete mix. These materials help reduce the overall weight of the planter while maintaining its strength and durability. Additionally, using fiberglass or plastic reinforcement in the concrete mix can also help improve the strength and durability of the planter.
