In this study, lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) specimens with different plastics-steel fibre volumes were tested to investigate the effect of plastics-steel fibre fraction on the mechanical properties of LWAC through the experimental research and theoretical analysis. The experimental results indicated that incorporation of steel fibre into LWAC can greatly improve such mechanical properties as flexural toughness and impact resistance, but leads to a little effect on compressive strength and flexural strength.

By finite element method, experimental results of the light-weight aggregate concrete composite slab are compared with the numerical simulation.. On the basis, nine composite slab specimen are designed. The loading process, includes the slab cracking, the yielding of steel plates, damaging of slabs are simulated, and the influencing factors, such as male pin, thickness of deck, and spacing of transverse shear reinforcing bars, etc. is studied. At last, the spacing of transverse shear reinforcing bars of light-weight aggregate concrete composite slab is given, and it is useful to the engineering design.

This research deals with production of light weight aggregate concrete by using clayey stone aggregate, normal material (cement , sand) and some of mineral admixtures (fly ash and steel fiber ). Many trial mix were doing some of these by weighing ratio and others by volumetric ratio . We get light weight aggregate concrete (LWAC) with 24.92 N/ mm2 compressive strength and we improved mechanical properties by adding same percentage of fly ash and steel fiber (0.5 ,1 ,1.5) % of each other as a percentage weighing ratio of cement content . compressive strength increased with (7.8 , 5.2 , 2.9) % , splitting tensile strength increased with (20 ,16.71, 12)% and flexural strength increased with (24.5 , 17.9 , 8) % when adding (0.5 ,1 ,1.5) % of each steel fiber and fly ash respectively. The practical results of the current study indicates that the using clayey stone to produce (LWAC) is success and we can improved mechanical properties of this (LWAC) was produced in this research by adding fly ash and steel fiber with previously percentage.

The concrete which take coral fragments as aggregate can solve the shortage of building materials in the ocean reef island effectively, The coral concrete shall be classified as light weight aggregate concrete from the angle of the apparent density of building materials, its basic mechanical properties are similar to ordinary light weight aggregate, but there are also significantly different. The different between coral concrete and pumecrete、haydite concrete and the basic mechanics characteristics of coral concrete were study in this paper. The intensity、development of intensity with age、stress-strain relations、failure mode under load were discussed.
