Structural Lightweight Concrete
TXI ES&C structural lightweight concrete gives designers greater flexibility at substantial cost savings by providing:
- Reduced dead load
- Improved seismic structural response
- Longer spans
- Superior fire ratings
- Improved indoor air quality
- Thinner sections
- Smaller structural members
- Reduced foundation costs
- More gross leasable space
- Increased transportation efficiencies
Common Uses
- Floors in steel frame buildings
- Precast and prestressed elements
- Concrete frame buildings and parking structures
- Floating docks and offshore oil platforms
- Bridge decks and girders
- Thin shell roof structures
- Topping over precast concrete
- Specified density concrete
