“…This project aims to develop cement substitutes that can provide lightweight concrete and reduce the consumption of Portland cement, whose production process emits excessive amounts of carbon dioxide (Liu et al, 2021;Pelisser et al, 2012). There are several studies on lightweight cement-based materials, some of which use cenosphere and fly ash (Arunachalam et al, 2023;Kavinkumar et al, 2023;Souza et al, 2019;Chen and Huang, 2019;Shi et al, 2022;Hanif et al, 2017;Brooks et al, 2021;Aungatichart et al, 2022), pumice powder (Hossain, 2004;Kurt et al, 2016), nano-silica materials (Sikora et al, 2020;Du et al, 2015;Adhikary et al, 2021;Elrahman et al, 2019;Adhikary et al, 2020;Gayathiri and Praveenkumar, 2022;Zhang et al, 2018). Using cement-based materials can produce lightweight concrete that is environmentally friendly, of high quality, and similar to normal concrete.…”

In seismically active locations, civil infrastructures, such as buildings, bridges, and dams, are frequently subjected to earthquakes. Using lightweight construction materials is one method for enhancing the seismic resistance of infrastructure. This study examined the engineering properties of lightweight concrete manufactured using expanded clay aggregate, with the purpose of developing sustainable and environmentally friendly building materials. Laboratory tests focused on the effects of the aggregate shape and the supplementary superplasticizer, as well as on the influence of the concrete age. Experimental studies were conducted to measure fresh (slump) and hardened properties (compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and density). The expanded clay aggregate was produced by burning at a temperature of 800 to 1 200 °C. Cubic, oval, and round aggregate shapes with a maximum size of 20 mm were evaluated. This study also examined the effect of superplasticizers on the engineering properties of lightweight concrete. The composition of the superplasticizer varied from 0 to 2,5%. According to the experimental results, the engineering properties of lightweight concrete made with oval aggregates are advantageous in comparison with those using cubic and round shapes. It is also demonstrated that optimal amounts of superplasticizer are necessary to develop materials with adequate properties. It can be concluded that expanded clay aggregate can be used as an alternative material to produce lightweight concrete.

Although its usage in civil engineering is due to aspects like cost-effectiveness and design flexibility, which have made light-weight concrete (LWC) increasingly popular in recent decades, its development brought a revolution in civil engineering. Numerous studies have been conducted in this field to examine the structural performance in various scenarios. The goal of the current review is to provide a thorough analysis of lightweight concrete. The main reason for the variance in concrete strength is the use of lightweight aggregates, which include multiple types of lightweight aggregates that can be natural or artificial. Thus, this review paper was put together to give an idea of lightweight concrete by using different aggregates like. There are many light-weight aggregate types, such as expanded clay aggregate, pumice, coconut shell, cenosphere, ceramsite sand, cenomite aggregate, vermiculite, crushed clay bricks, and palm kernel shells, as well as their effects on the properties of LWC. This paper includes the production process of LWC and its characteristics, including, density, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, workability and durability.

One of the most crucial ecological challenges is the removal of the ever increasing enormous quantities of Fly Ash (FA) generated from various industries and its reduction in landfill spaces. Light-Weight Aggregate Concrete (LWAC) is utilized in the construction industry as it can decrease the unit weight leading to lower dead load, thermos-insulation, and resistance against earthquakes. A number of researchers have implemented experimental programs on the use of large amounts of FA as a substitute for cement in various lightweight concrete mixtures. This study aims to present the recent efforts of adding attapulgite in LWAC and highlight its effects and the influence of its mixture with High Volume FA Light-Weight Concrete (HVFALC) in terms of compressibility resistance, tensile strength, and rupture resistance.
