Abstract

Light weight concrete has a dry density lower than 1000kg/m3 which help the concrete to float on the surface of water. They are future of the construction because of its high thermal insulation, environment friendly behaviour, earthquake resistance, fire resistance to name a few. Compressive strength of this type of cube is in range from 35 to 45kg which is excellent considering its cost effectiveness.
