• Abstract:

  Haydite, the original lightweight aggregate was developed some three decades ago specifically for use in lightweight concrete.Since the beginning of commercial production, extensive tests have been carried on continuously in commercial laboratories and at various universities; among them Ohio State University, Armour Institute, University of Illinois, Washington University in St. Louis, University of Michigan, University of Wyoming and University of Wisconsin. Also several government agencies – including the United States Bureau of Public Roads, the National Bureau of Standards and the Bureau of Reclamation – have tested Haydite thereby enabling the Haydite industry to keep abreast of all progressive developments in concrete-making.
  In all tests, without exception, Haydite aggregate satisfactorily met all the essential requirements desirable in concrete: namely – workability, economy, strength, durability.
