Abstract EN
Global warming is a vital issue addressed to every sector worldwide, including the construction industry.
To achieve the concept of green technology, many attempts have been carried out to develop low-carbon footprint products.
In the construction sector, Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) has become more popular and been manufactured to meet the construction demand.
However, errors from manufacturing process accounted for approximately 3 to 5% of the AAC production.
The development of AAC waste as lightweight aggregate in concrete is one of the potential approaches which was extendedly studied in this paper.
The results showed that the compressive strength of AAC-LWA concrete was decreased with an increase in volume and coarse size.
The optimum mix proportion was the AAC aggregate size of 1/2′′ to 3/8′′ with 20 to 40% replacement to normal weight aggregate.
Internal curing by AAC-LWA was also observed and found to provide sufficient water inside the specimens, leading to an achievement in higher compressive strength.
The main goal of this study is not only utilising unwanted wastes from industry (recycling of waste materials) but also building up a new knowledge of using AAC-LWA as an internal curing agent as well as the production of value-added lightweight concrete products.
