Scope

This document specifies the assessment of characteristics for loose-fill expanded clay lightweight aggregate products (hereafter as: expanded clay LWA) intended to be used for application in civil engineering works.
This document covers the use of expanded clay LWA as:
- lightweight fill and insulation materials in embankments for roads, railways and other trafficked areas;
- lightweight backfill for structures.
This document specifies procedures for assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of characteristics of the expanded clay LWA.
