Lightweight aggregates concrete (LWAC) has its roots in the ancient period cca. 3000 years before
the Christian Era. Today, lightweight aggregates are available in a wide range of density, strenghts,
and sizes. The basic advantage of LWAC is its low density, which reduces the dead load and
provides insulating properties. Along with this, it is easy to handle, so heavy duty tools are not
required.
Consisting of the three main components – cement, water, and aggregate, concrete has an important influence on its natural surroundings. With a purpose of saving nature, solutions considering sustainability are being looked for.
