Lightweight concrete used for renovation of sidewalk in Chuo-bashi, Fujiyoshida City (in July 2009) Compressive strength: （ 66+68+71 ） /3=68.3 Nmm 2 The measured value in the picture below is 71 N/mm 2. It is considered that measured values varied depending on the maximum strength of mixed materials, not target strength. No explosive fracture occurred because fiber-reinforced concrete was used. Weight per unit volume: ρ=1.56 (A 20-cm length, 10-cm OD cylinder after standard underwater curing) ρ =5.9562÷4=1.48905 according to the picture below. ρ =1.56, a measured value of a 20-cm length, 10-cm OD cylinder is used in this document. It is expected that ρ will be 1.55 or less after October. Bending strength: 65kg/cm 2 (Standard underwater curing) The effect of fiber reinforcement was shown.
