Production of lightweight concrete aggregate from Virginia shale

This investigation was undertaken to determine the feasibility of producing a cellular, lightweight product by subjecting shales to temperatures of 2100 ± 100 °F in a muffle furnace. Such a product can be utilized as an aggregate for lightweight concrete to supplement cinders which have long been us...
