Abstract1: This Paper describes the results of a pilot study to investigate ways of reducing the volume of primary aggregates in concrete. The study encompassed a number of alternative technologies in the design of concrete mixes. Three technologies were evaluated in the laboratory: foamed concrete, high volume fly ash concrete and dry-pressed concrete. An environmental assessment was also undertaken. Possible applications were assessed to evaluate possible savings in primary aggregate consumption.
