Construction Considerations for Low Density Concrete

Course Description:

This course will provide interim guidance on construction and economic considerations with regard to the use of low-density concrete (in contrast to normal-density concrete). 

Learning Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Learn the differences in basic mixture proportion criteria for structural low and normal density concrete exposed to marine environments
• Understand any differences between the cementitious materials used for Low density concrete and normal density concrete
• Learn the best choice of mixer for large volumes of low density concrete
• Understand the economic considerations for Low density structural grade aggregates.
