How to design lightweight concrete with synthetic aggregates

Discover the benefits of wet cast concrete and how lightweight aggregate**n transform your precast concrete projects!

In this clip, Traves W. Ogilvie, LEED AP, breaks down the process of replacing natural aggregate with synthetic aggregate like foam glass or mineral polymers to create lightweight concrete that meets ASTM standards. Learn how adjusting sand and aggregate ratios can reduce unit weight while maintaining strength and performance. Perfect for builders, engineers, and sustainability advocates looking to optimize concrete mixes!

🔹 **Topics Covered:**
✅ Wet Cast Concrete & Ready Mix Precast
✅ Replacing Natural Aggregate with Synthetic Options
✅ Achieving ASTM-Compliant Lightweight Concrete (115 lbs/cu ft)
✅ Sustainable Building Materials & LEED Considerations
