Section 8.6.5 Density of Concrete
The effect of low density concrete is accounted for by the factor λ where:
- λ = 1.00 for normal density concrete
- λ = 0.85 for structural semi-low-density concrete
- λ = 0.75 for structural low-density concrete
Concretes are classified according to their specified density:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| low-density concrete | if specified density ≤ 1,850 kg/m3 |
| semi-low-density concrete | if specified density > 1,850 kg/m3 and ≤ 2,150 kg/m3 |
| normal density concrete | if specified density > 2,150 kg/m3 |
