Estudio experimental de vigas multicapa de hormigón ligero y hormigón convencional

Abstract

Lightweight concrete (LWC) has advantages over conventional
concrete (CC). For the same strength value, LWC has a lower
weight so the load over the structure is reduced. However, CC
produces shorter deflections for the same load. The combined use
of both materials could optimize the best behavior of each. The
goal of this paper is to study experimentally the multilayer LWC
and CC beam behaviour. It is compared against monolithic LWC
and CC beams.
