 Summary:
 For normal weight concrete we have conversion factors, when testing not at the age of 28 days or the curing of specimens is not according to the standard. Lightweight aggregate concrete may be very different from normal weight concrete from this point of view. The properties mainly depend on the properties of the lightweight aggregate like particle density, water absorption capacity. The aim is to study the impact of the time under water storage on compressive strength and fracture tests results.
