Abstract
Abstract
The presented research aims to develop new optimized composition of novel lightweight concrete with a very low bulk density. Low bulk density of developed lightweight concrete is achieved by using a combination of non-traditional lightweight artificial fillers, dispersed fibre reinforcement and pre-generated technical foam. The methodology of lightweight concrete test specimen production, based on technologies commonly applied for the production of lightweight concrete, foam concrete or autoclaved aerated concrete was also designed and verified. Not only the physical and mechanical parameters, but also the thermal insulation properties were verified on the produced test specimens of the developed lightweight concrete.
