Litagg -Lightweight aggregates

LIGHTWEIGHT COOL ROOF INSULATION CUM WATERPROOFING An alternative to Brickbats / Integral type Waterproofing over roof / terraces   Cool Roof / Terraces   by definition is the covering on the uppermost part of a building structure  but significance of cool roof is one that has been designed to reflect more solar radiations and absorb less heat than a standard roof A cool roof protects the building and its contents from the rain / heat /earth quake effects of all climate  primarily in India against rains, heat ,cold, .   The characteristics of a cool roof are dependent upon the purpose / climatic zones  of the building that it covers, the available roofing materials and the local traditions of construction and wider concepts of architects designs and practice and , may also be governed by local or national laws ( still yet to amend)  T he conc...

PRECAST LIGHTWEIGHT WALL PANELS  THE CHARACTERISTICS OF LITAGG LIGHTWEIGHT AGGREGATE/CONCRETE  The structure of LITAGG lightweight concrete is similar to the normal concrete, mixing with LITAGG sand (or light sand), cement and water. With proper and sufficient vibration, low air content exist within LITAGG lightweight concrete and this can also against the corrosion of steel reinforcement. Suitable additives can be added into LITAGG aggregate concrete to get respective properties . LITAGG aggregates are the type of clay which are expanded at extremely high temperature, a outer hard layer and inner spongy structure made weighting range  350-800 kg/m3, low dense to  stone aggregate but with high compressive strength. Clay is produced at extremely high temperature and can be the texture of pottery, is neural, durable. Even at high temperature, it will not depart from each other and not evolve toxic gases such that it is good for the production of constru...

LOW DENSITY STRUCTURAL CONCRETE  sintagg lightweight aggregates PHOTO : precast light weight panels aggregates           Litagg-Lightweight aggregates intended for use in structural concrete design   in which prime considerations are reducing the density and thermal insulation of concrete   while maintaining the compressive strength of the concrete Two general types of lightweight aggregates are  available : Litagg aggregates prepared by expanding, pelletizing  or sintering products  1. LECA (expanded clay aggregates/pelletes )  2. SINTAGG ( Flyash based aggregates/pellets )  and  Litagg aggregates prepared by processing natural materials, such as nodullar, perlite , vermiculite , pumice . Litagg  aggregates are  composed majorly of lightweight-cellular and granular inorganic material. Litagg Lightweight aggregates are  tested, and does not contains excessive amoun...
