The title of the publication is “Performance of Lightweight Concrete with Expansive and Air-Entraining Admixtures in CFST Columns” having as principal approach analyzes the adhesion and confinement effects in steel tubes promoted by three types of lightweight concrete: without any admixture (reference), with an expansive agent (EA), and with an air-entraining admixture (AEA). Physical and mechanical tests were performed in order to evaluate those properties.
