| Abstract | The present study aims to characterize the capillary absorption of structural lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC), taking into account different compositions with lightweight aggregates (LWA) of very distinct porosity. The influence of the following parameters is analysed: the volume and initial water content of LWA; the cement content and its replacement by fly ash or silica fume; the partial replacement of normal weight aggregate by lightweight coarse or fine aggregate; different curing conditions. It is shown that LWAC usually has higher initial and long-term absorption than normal weight concrete (NWC) of the same composition. However, the sorptivity tends to be similar in both concretes, regardless of the type and volume of aggregate and the water/cement of the surrounding paste. Moreover, the sorptivity is lower in LWAC than in NWC of the same strength. It is also shown that the coarser the porosity of the LWA the lower is the capillary action. The capillary absorption is higher in LWAC with pre-soaked LWA and increases as the percentage replacement of cement by fly ash increases and the percentage of silica fume decreases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
