Abstract:
SP29 Emphasis is placed on the importance and acceptance of structural lightweight concrete on the construction scene. Increased interest in the use of lower density concretes, in some of the building systems developed to alleviate the housing shortage and the peculiar properties of these materials, such as energy absorption; which makes them attractive for uses other than conventional building construction, add to the significance of this publication.

The success of the 52-story One Shell Plaza building in Houston depended on the use of high strength lightweigth concrete. To achieve 600 psi lightweight concrete at the site for the mat foundation, columns, walls, and spandrels a rigorous quality control program was developed and followed through the entire project. The authors discuss the development of the design mix, tests made for establishing design criteria, and procedures for plant and field inspection to maintain quality control throughout the project. A checklist for quality control for future high-rise lightweight concrete buildings is propsosed.

A description of given of a series of tests with perlite, vermiculite, and cellular insulating concretes. . .There are significant differences in the drying shrinkages of the 3 types of concretes and also in the shrinkages of the concretes made from the 3 brands of perlite.

This paper surveys the factors governing the design of insulating concrete roof decks. Factors affecting design considerations are multiple, ranging from aesthetic to technical. This paper deals only with the technical design considerations of roof deck systems made of steel centering or forms with a low-density concrete overlay. This type of concstruction represents the majority of low-density concrete roof deck usage, other than concrete used for roof fills.
