Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the benefits, properties, characteristics and impact of Lightweight high-grade concrete on the environment. According to many seismologists during the earthquake buildings are the main reason behind the loss of human lives. The earthquake forces that influence the structures and buildings are directly proportional to the mass of such structures and buildings. Therefore, to reduce the seismic risk reduction in the mass of the building is of utmost importance. One of the ways to reduce the mass and a dead load of structure or building is to use lightweight concrete in construction. Lightweight concrete reduces the dead load, cost of construction and also provide the equal or more strength than conventional concrete.
