摘要:Light weight concrete has become more popular in recent years owning to the tremendous advantages itoffers over the conventional concrete. The main specialties of lightweight concrete are its low density and thermalconductivity. Its advantages are that there is a reduction of dead load, faster building rates in construction and lowerhaulage and handling costs. We are replacing the cinder instead of coarse aggregate; it is obtained from steel industries.The surface of the cinder is usually rough and high porous due to mineral structures. Low specific gravity of cinder incompression with natural aggregates resulted in the concrete made with cinder to be lighter than normal concrete.Based on the literature, the main function for usage cinder material is to minimize the cost and it is reduced to disposalof waste material and it helps in reduction of dead load. An experimentally study has been conducted on concrete withpartial replacement of conventional coarse aggregate by another light weight aggregate. The M20 concrete mix isdesigned using ISI method. We make concrete by replacing coarse aggregate with cinder of different percentages like0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% with curing of 7 and 28 days. Among all the percentages the better compressivestrength obtained percentage is selected.
