Abstract
Over thousand of years, by the time these materials were improved upon, combined with other materials and change into modern concrete. Now days, concrete are made by using Portland cement, coarse aggregates, fine aggregates and water. The performance characteristics of concrete can be observed with change according to the different forces that the concrete will need to resist. Time after time, lots of invention have been made to improve quality of concrete in the concrete technology. With the improvement of the superstructure size in the constructions can be reduce such as beam and column in modern construction, structural light weight concrete have been used because less dead load, durability and cost savings. This present research work mainly focusses on an investigation of the workability and strength properties of lightweight aggregates, particularly pumice aggregate, used in the production of concrete with (PA) which were substituted for conventional Hard Broken Stone (HBG) coarse aggregate. Through the use of lightweight aggregate (PA) in place of some of the coarse aggregate, the properties of a lightweight concrete using M20 have been concentrated in this experimental study. The project study with the special concrete such as light weight concrete by using pumice aggregate (natural aggregate). One of the vibrant disadvantages of nominal concrete having high dead load. This heavy Self weight will make it to extent an uneconomical structural material. Light weight concrete having low density, to increase the thermal insulation. The reduction in density produced by using pumice aggregate as a limited replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete. In this investigation an attempt has been made to compare the nominal concrete and lightweight concrete using grade M20. Lightweight concrete is made of Partial replacement of Coarse Aggregate with different ratios of Pumice aggregate ranging from 10%, 20%, and 30% respectively with each ratio comprising of Beams for the curing period of 7, 14 and 28 days. This project is intensive to find out the compression strength and split tensile strength of lightweight concrete. This Experiment is focused to determine the strength parameters of the newly designed concrete, to find the most favorable replacement from the above mentioned replacements and the results are compared with the conventional concrete to calculate the Favourable replacements with the above mentioned replacements.
