Light Weight Concrete

We can prepare lightweight concrete either by injecting air in its mass mixture or it can be achieved by omitting the finer sizes of the aggregate or even replacing them by a hollow, cellular or porous aggregate. Particularly, lightweight concrete can be categorized into three groups:

1. i) No-Fines Concrete
2. ii) Light Weight Aggregate Concrete

iii) Aerated Concrete

In light weight concrete prepared using Thermocol beans the coarse aggregate is replaced by thermocol beans, so lot of weight is reduced due to coarse aggregate and weight is reduced more than 50%.
