Structural Lightweight Concrete

Structural lightweight concrete is a special type of concrete designed to be strong enough for building frameworks but lighter than traditional concrete. It achieves this by replacing some of the dense materials with lighter components like expanded clay, shale, or pumice. This reduces the overall weight of structures, making them easier to design and build, and helps decrease the load on foundations. Despite its lighter weight, it maintains necessary strength and durability, making it suitable for various construction applications where reducing weight is an important factor.
