Since the 1920s, designers and owners have benefited from the use of structural lightweight concrete. Unfortunately, over the past few decades, some designers have turned away from specifying structural lightweight due to incomplete evaluation of the full life cycle benefits of lightweight aggregate concrete, and substantial misunderstandings surrounding concrete moisture vapor emissions. During this course we will explore the full sustainable aspects conveyed through the use of structural lightweight concrete and illustrate to the attendee how structural lightweight concrete is the sustainable design option. Further, we will discuss the need, and associated benefits, of implementing a systematic approach to designing structural slabs in conjunction with subsequent flooring, coating, or roofing materials.
