The low density of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWC) allows the construction of lighter structural members. Hence, this density is expected to reduce the area of member sections of structures and improve the utilization of the effective space of buildings [1, 2].However, because of the indiscriminate collection of natural aggregates, supplying the aggregates that account for …
