Abstracts : Light weight concrete (LWC) shall be stated
as a type of concrete which includes as a rising agent
and it increases the quantity of mixture despite the
fact that lowering the dead weight. When compare to
normal concrete its weight is less and dry density
lesser than 2000kg/m3. The major specialties of
the LWC are the less density and low thermal
conductivity. The objective of this investigation is
to develop the most economical light weight
concrete for building with satisfactory amount of
compressive strength. Fly ash replacement is fixed to
as 5%, 10%and 15 % of the cement in the mixture.
The percentage addition of aluminum powder is
limited to three categories that are 0, 0.5 and 1 to the
light weight concrete mixture. At 15 % replacement
of fly ash, the tested concrete block have maximum
compressive strength and split tensile strength. It is
found that, after adding up of aluminum powder,
there is a gradual decrease in compressive strength
and split tensile strength. Combination of fly Ash
(15%) and Aluminum powder (0.25%) gives higher
compressive strength and split tensile strength.
