Expanded perlite aggregate (EPA) is a heat and sound insulator, and lightweight material which ensures economical benefits in constructions. This paper investigates the properties of concrete containing EPA considering cement types (CEM II 32.5R and CEM I 42.5R), dosages (300, 350 and 400) and repla

✦ Synopsis
The results of this research indicate that the instantaneous elastic recovery of concrete after unloading is at any time greater than the value calculated using the value of modulus of elasticity for virgin loading at the same age. The differences are caused by the timedependent stress redistribution in composite material° The elastic rebound of the lightweight aggregate after a long time period under sustained load is much larger than that for norma~ aggregate° This produces microcracking in the mortar and loss of its resistance to the elastic rebound of aggregate, causing a great increase of instantaneous as well as delayed recovery of compressive strain° De resultaten van het hier in het kort beschreven onderzoek wijzen er op, dat de onmiddellijke elastische terugvering van beton na her ontlasten altijd groter is dan volgens de berekening met de bij het beschouwde tijdstip behorende elasticiteitsmoduluso De verschillen worden veroorzaakt door de tijdsafhankelijke spanningsherverdeling in het samengestelde materiaal. De elastische terugvering van het lichtbeton na een lange periode onder belasting is veel groter dan die van grindbeton. Hierbij ~eden microscheuren in de mortel op, waardoor de mortel weerstand verliest tegen de elastische terugvering van de lichte toeslag. Dit veroorzaakt vermeerdering van de onmiddellijke en van de vertraagde terugvering van het ontlaste lichtbetono
