USES:
The primary use of CLC is to reduce the dead load of a concrete structure, which then allows the structural designer to reduce the size of columns, footing and other load bearing elements. CLC enhances the fire protection and can be used as insulating blocks. Structural CLC has been used for bridge decks, piers and beams, slabs and wall elements in concrete and steel buildings, parking structures, tilt-up walls, topping slabs and composite slabs on metal decking. CLC is fire resistant and its thermal and acoustical insulation properties make it ideal for a wide range of purposes, from insulating floors and roofs, to void filling. It is also particularly useful for trench reinstatement. APPLICATION: Few of the applications of CLC concrete are:
- precast blocks / boards / panels;
- precast wall elements / panels;
- cast-in-situ / cast-in-place structures and walls;
- insulating compensation laying;
- insulation floor screeds;
- insulation roof screeds;
- sunken portion filling;
- trench reinstatement;
- sub-base in highways;
- filling of hollow blocks;
- prefabricated insulation boards.
