The study deals with the usage of perforated foam of various percentages to that of coarse aggregate to produce light weight concrete. With the day to day increase in industries and civilization’s expansion it has become very much necessary to produce structures with proficiently lesser weight. Its usage has become more proficient in construction of building in earthquake prone areas. This experimental investigation deals with the study of strength parameters of light weight concrete by performing various strength test and its various behavior s such as compression, tensile and flexure are studied by adding preformed foam at various proportions of 0%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 40%. All these strength parameter test are performed on 7th day, 14th day and 28th day respectively from day of casting


Mechanical Strength properties of fiber reinforced light weight concrete are investigated and studied with normal concrete. Four concrete mixes were taken in different percentages of fly ash, carbon fiber and LECA. Fifty-Four cubes (six for each mixes) and Thirty six cylinders (four for each mixes) were tested. The investigation include 7 and 28 days of strength properties of concrete mixes. As the increase in percentage of fly ash and carbon fiber the compressive and split tensile values were decreased and vice versa. Light weight concrete gives low density than conventional concrete. Plastic shrinkage crack decreases with the percentage increase of LECA (Light Weight Expanded Clay Aggregate)
