May 01, 2020· Lightweight Concrete. Definition: concrete of substantially lower density than that made using aggregates of normal density; consists entirely of lightweight aggregate or a combination of lightweight aggregate and normal-density aggregate; its equilibrium densities are generally between 70 and 120 lb/ft 3 (1120 and 1920 kg/m 3).- ACI Concrete Terminology

Concrete is considered to be lightweight is the density is not more than 2200kg/m 3 (the density of normal weight concrete is assumed to be between 2300kg/m 3 and 2400kg/m 3) and a proportion of the aggregate should have a density of less than 2000kg/m 3. Lightweight concrete can be specified using the notation LC for the strength class, e.g ...
