Original Abstract

The use of material based on by-products and easily renewable materials in modern building structures is today’s preferred route for long-term sustainable construction and this method of construction also respects the principles of key documents, such as the Kyoto Protocol/ Paris Climate Agreements, Agenda 20-20-20, etc. In the field of light concrete (LC), the long-term effort is to effectively reduce the bulk density to a level where the concrete will still exhibit sufficient mechanical properties, so it would be possible to use it as construction material in building structure and at the same time will exhibit a sufficiently low thermal conductivity for the construction to fulfil strict requirements in the field of thermal protection of building without the need for additional thermal insulation layers. The paper describes the results of the research in the utilization of light-weight aggregate based on foam glass in conjunction with by-product based fibers for the development of light-weight porous concrete with very low density and thermal conductivity.
