Smartphone Application for Determining the Segregation Index of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete

Due to the low density of the aggregates and the longer mixing times, lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) is susceptible to segregation of the aggregates. Several studies have proposed different methods to estimate the segregation of concrete because segregation affects strength and durability in...
