Abstract
DESPITE HAVING WELL-DOCUMENTED PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES. LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE OFTEN CONJURES SEVERAL QUESTIONS IN THE MINDS OF SPECIFIERS. FROM ITS LEAD TIMES TO COST, UNANSWERED QUESTIONS CAN CAUSE SOME PROFESSIONALS TO STEER A WAY FROM THE MATERIAL, EVEN WHEN ITS USE WOULD ENHANCE THE BUILDING'S DESIGN AND SUPPORT COSTSA VIN GS TO THE PROJECT'S BOTTOM LINE. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING AN OVERVIEW OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE, THIS TECHNICAL ARTICLE ANSWERS THREE COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS TO INFORM CONSTRUCTION SPECIFIERS ON WHAT THEY CAN EXPECT FROM THE MATERIAL IN TERMS OF APPLICATION, PERFORMANCE, AND OVERALL COST.
