The mechanism of failure of structural lightweight concrete infill of IBS blocks subjected to flexural

Currently there is a strong inclination of the Malaysian construction industry to utilize industrialized building system (IBS) of lightweight concrete material. The use of lightweight material has the potential to offset the high cost of production and transportation of IBS components of normal dens...
