An Experimental Research on Basic Properties of Ceramsite Cellular Concrete

Ceramsite cellular concrete (CCC for short) is a kind of lightweight aggregate concrete. In this paper, the selection of materials and design of mix proportion have been discussed, and basic property tests has been done. The compressive strength was proved up to the National Standards of P. R. GB50003-2001(code for design of masonry structures), furthermore, elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio were also introduced. Questions remain regarding the quality control of the product, and further work is needed to resolve this contradiction.
