I cannot directly provide a PDF file or a direct download link for ACI 213R-14 ("Guide for Structural Lightweight-Aggregate Concrete") because it is a copyrighted document published by the American Concrete Institute (ACI).

Introduction to FRP Reinforcement

4. Material Characteristics and Selection

• Lightweight aggregates: Physical properties (unit weight, particle size distribution, porosity, absorption).
• Classification: LWA types and expected properties; saturated-surface-dry (SSD) condition importance.
• Supplementary cementitious materials: Fly ash, slag, silica fume considerations.
• Admixtures: Water reducers, retarders, air-entraining agents — interactions with LWA.
• Key point: Preconditioning or presoaking of LWA to control moisture uptake and mixing water effective content.

ACI 213R-14 provides comprehensive guidelines on the technology and application of structural lightweight-aggregate concrete, outlining material properties, mixture proportions, and design considerations. The standard establishes requirements for concrete with a minimum 28-day strength of 17 MPa (2500 psi) and an equilibrium density between 1120 and 1920 kg/m³.
