INVESTIGATION OF STRUCTURAL LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE PRODUCTIBILITY WITH USING ERZINCAN RAW PERLITE AGGREGATE
Öz
A study was carried out on the production of structural lightweight concrete using raw perlite aggregate with a maximum aggregate particle diameter of 12.5 mm and granulometry conforming to the Fuller equation. For this, Concrete samples with five different cement dosages such as 150, 200, 250, 300 and 350 kg/m3 and two different slump values were prepared, to regulate the workability of fresh concrete, 1% of cement weight plasticizer was added to all mixes. The physical and mechanical properties of fresh and hardened concrete were determined according to the relevant standards of ASTM. According to the research results, it has been seen that it is possible to produce structural lightweight concrete with a unit weight of between 1600 and 1900 kg/m3 using perlite aggregate. The highest compressive strength of 35 MPa was reached after 90 days with a binder amount of 350 kg/m3 . According to the results of the research, one of the most effective parameters on the mechanical and physical properties of concrete is the slump value and the other is the amount of binder. The split tensile strength of the produced concrete was 11% of the compressive strength and the water absorption rate was 8%.
