1. Use to reduce structural frame requirements
Research commissioned by Lytag demonstrates that designing a concrete or steel structure using Lytag LWA can make significant volume reductions in structural concrete and steel. For a 30-storey concrete building, for example, it can also reduce deadloads by 31%. Using Lytag LWA in concrete can reduce the volume of structural steel required by up to 8%.
2. Use to reduce the volume of floors and foundations
When used in the floors and foundations of buildings, Lytag LWA can significantly reduce the volume of concrete required in each. In a six-storey concrete-framed building, the reduction in concrete needed for the foundations can be up to 56%.
