Abstract

Light weight concrete is widely used in various civil engineering fields due to its low density compared to normal conventional concrete. The present study investigates on the development of light weight aggregate concrete by blending with leca and cinder. The mix design is carried out for both M20 and M30 grade normal conventional concrete mixes; the coarse aggregate proportion is fully replaced by blended aggregates (leca and cinder) in various percentages by volume. The experimental results shows that the full replacement of coarse aggregate proportion with 40% of leca and 60% of cinder aggregates have given the better results with high strength, less weight and low density.
