Experimental Study of Light Weight Concrete by Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate Using Pumice Aggregate

Rajeswari S, Dr. Sunilaa George

Abstract: Light weight concrete has many applications in concrete and construction industry now a days. In this Study an attempt has been made to compare the conventional concrete and light weight aggregate concrete using mix M25. Light weight concrete is made by Partial replacement of Coarse Aggregate with different ratios of Pumice ranging from 50%, 60% and 70%. This study is focused to determine the strength parameters of light weight aggregate concrete to find the favorable replacement with the above mentioned replacements. The results are compared with conventional concrete.
