Order a sample of one of our concrete aggregate grades —pumice sand (HP Grade 1/8 Fines MN) or Standard Concrete Aggregate (HP Grade 3/4 x 5/16 MN) from our online Pumice Store. Technical Data Sheets for each grade are linked next to the order details. precast concrete products made with lightweight pumice aggregate are more efficient to ...
Pumice. Pumice is a volcanic rock that consists of highly vesicular rough textural rock glass. It generally light colored. It is created when gas-saturated liquid magma erupts like a carbonated drink and cools so rapidly that the resulting solidifies into a glass full of gas bubbles. Pumices from silica-rich lavas are white, those from ...
Research into the mechanical and durability characteristics of concrete with pumice-blended cement has also been the subject of other publications, where improvement in the both strength and ...
A set of combinations with mixing water and initial curing conditions were studied such that cast in situ and precast conditions of concrete in marine environment were simulated. It is found that blending of Types I and II cement with VA (between 10 and 20%) has shown better resistance against seawater attack than Type V cement with low …
Volcanic aggregates of basalt, scoria, pumice and tuff were used in concrete by Roman engineers and designers. Their awareness of the differences between heavy basaltic aggregates and extremely light pumice and tuff made possible the construction of structures which were quite sophisticated. A famous example of this expertise is the …
Since the existing masonry filler wall has the shortages such as: the heavy self-weight, low masonry mortar bond. we invented cast-in-situ insulation filler wall by using pumice concrete which is ...
The utilization of pumice as aggregate in the concrete increases the drying shrinkage of concrete due to higher water absorption. On the other hand, the alkali-silica …
