Light Weight Concrete Using Cinder – A Review

Abstract: The rising demand in the building industry has resulted in an increase in the cost of concrete production. The rising cost of construction materials prompted researchers to develop new low-cost, high-strength construction materials. Aggregates play a significant role in concrete volume, accounting for 60 to 70 percent of overall volume. As a result, they have a significant impact on several material qualities such as density, specific gravity, and water absorption, among others. The coarser normal weight aggregate in traditional concrete can be partially or completely replaced with low density particles, resulting in light weight concrete with strong compressive resistance.

Keywords: Cinder, light weight aggregate, compressive strength, tensile strength, density specimens and Youngs modulus.
