Lightweight concrete is very much developed because of its benefits that can reduce the weight of the building itself, so that the earthquake effect on buildings can be minimized. By using Foam Agent Technology, it will add air pores which can reduce the specific gravity of normal concrete. To achieve the K 300 Concrete Quality with Light Weight, the researchers added Polymer and Polymer and Bonding mixture to the Concrete mixture using Foam Agent technology. From the research conducted by researchers, it was found that Foam Agent is able to help concrete become lighter by 13%. This research was also able to obtain the optimum compressive strength results with a light weight, the Light Concrete study with the addition of Foam Agent, Polymer and Bonding with a quality of 267 kg / cm² or equivalent to Fc 22 with a weight of 1877 Kg / cm³ and an efficiency coefficient of 14% which is higher than normal Concrete K 300 with a magnitude of 13%.

Concrete is a material that is widely used and become a major element in the building. The advantages of concrete, among others, have a strong high pressure than the tensile strength, easily formed, does not require special care, the material is easy to obtain from the surrounding, and more durable than other building materials. The more concrete is used as the constituent material of the concrete, hence encouraging research to develop the material as well as the way of making concrete. Hazelnut shell is one type of particle that is very light weight in a dry and quite hard. Where the hazelnut shell is it self known as a lot of waste accumulated and tend to become garbage because its utilization is still small or relatively small, so it needs to be handled seriously. In addition, today hazelnut shell is only used for a small need only. The purpose of this research is to find out the compressive strength of concrete and to utilize the waste of hazelnut shell as 10%, 20% and 30% concrete additives with the planned K225 concrete quality, with 28 days concrete plan, The addition of hazelnut shell to the concrete mixture resulted decrease in compressive strength of normal concrete in each variation of the percentage. This is because the mixture of hazelnut shell is not strong enough to be a substitute for coarse aggregates, resulting in a decrease in the compressive strength of the concrete

There is still a lot of casting concrete implementation which is mixing location was far with the casting location, because the situation in the field there are many obstacles to implement it.  As a result, from the mixing place to a casting place take a long time, so long as transportation there is a process of hydration in the concrete, which can cause a decrease in the quality of the concrete. To determine the decreasing of concrete quality, the research conducted is to determine the effect of time between when the mixing process of the concrete to casting process. This study used 48 specimens were divided into two groups, namely 24 specimens using the time difference without rotation and 24 pieces again with rotation. Each specimen using the same water cement ratio (fas), namely 0.45. Each group was subdivided in 6 variations in the time between mixing and casting namely :. 0 minutes, 12 minutes, 24 minutes, 36 minutes, 48 minutes and 60 minutes witch each variation using 4 specimens. The result of compressive strength each specimen group, for group I (without rotation) is 348 kg / cm2 for 0 minutes, 342 kg / cm2 for 12 minutes, 333 kg / cm2 for 24 minutes, 322 kg / cm2 for 36 minutes, 310 kg / cm2 for 48 minutes, and 294 kg / cm2 for 60 minutes. For group II (with rotation) is: 338 kg / cm2 for 0 minutes, 336 kg / cm2 for 12 minutes, 333 kg / cm2 for 24 minutes, 329 kg / cm2 for 36 minutes, 324 kg / cm2 for 48 minutes , and 318 kg / cm2 for 60 minutes. The results showed that, for the concrete without rotation: compressive strength at 60-minute time delay decreased by 15.52% of normal concrete (0 minute delay), and to the mixing concrete with rotation, compressive strength on delay of 60 minutes decreased by 5.92 % of normal concrete (0 minute delay). These results indicate that the delay time without rotation the greater the loss quality of concrete.

Normal concrete uses fine aggregate and coarse aggregate with concrete density 2200 kg/m3-2400 kg/m3 with a compressive strength of about 15-40 MPa [1]. The purpose of this study is to determine characteristics of the concrete aggregate and the compressive strength of the concrete design based on the DOE (Department of Environment) method and the SNI Standard. In this research, the use of nugmet shell was varied as follows: 0%, 0,25%, 0,50%, 0,75% and 1% of the cement weight. The results showed that the use of nutmeg shells as a normal concrete affected the specific gravity and the value compressive strength of concrete. The higher the percentage of nutmeg shells, the lower the specific gravity and compressive strength of the concrete. The average value of density to nutmeg shell concrete (NSC) 2254.72 (kg/m3) and normal concrete 2304.32 (kg/m3). The compressive strength of normal concrete is 224.2 kg/cm2 and the nutmeg shell concrete (NSC) the composition of 0.25% and 0.5% obtained by 129.6 kg/cm2 and 140.0 kg/cm2 increases the use of nutmeg shell 0.75% and 1% obtained value ​​of 117.6 kg/cm2 and 118.1 kg/cm2 decreased at the age of 28 days. The compressive strength of normal concrete 22 MPa while the maximum nutmeg shell concrete (NSC) 14 MPa, so it does not meet the quality of normal concrete in general.

Concrete is one of the most vital building blocks, from columns, bricks, paving to roads made of concrete, so the use of concrete tends to be high. Concrete is often used as the main buffer in a building, so good quality is needed, but this is not accompanied by a declining quality of the material, so it requires innovation in the addition of new materials that can at least reduce the needs of the main material for making concrete, one of which is the utilization of Gypsum Board waste and red brick waste. The results of testing the concrete compressive strength test with the addition of Gypsum Board waste and red brick waste to cement obtained pretty good results. Concrete, which has the highest average compressive strength than normal concrete, has concrete with a mixture of red brick and gypsum waste of 10% each with a compressive strength of 250.56 kg / cm², and which has the lowest compressive strength have concrete with a mixture of red bricks and gypsum waste 15% each with a compressive strength of 195.56 kg / cm².Beton merupakan salah satu unsur penyusun bangunan paling vital mulai dari kolom,bata, paving hingga jalan terbuat dari beton sehingga penggunaan beton cenderung tinggi. Beton sering digunakan sebagai bahan penyangga utama pada suatu bangunan maka diperlukan kualitas yang baik, namun hal tersebut tidak di sertai dengan kualitas bahan yang kian menurun,makadiperlukan inovasi penambahan bahan baru yang setidaknya dapat mengurangi kebutuhan bahan utama pembuat beton, salah satunya pemanfaatan limbah Gypsum Board dan limbah batu bata merah Hasil dari pengetesan uji kuat tekan beton dengan penambahan limbah Gypsum Board dan limbah batu bata merah terhadap semen didapatkanhasil yang cukup bagus Beton yang memiliki nilai kuat tekan rata-rata paling tinggi selain beton normal di miliki beton dengan campuran batu bata merah dan limbah gypsum masing-masing 10% dengan nilai kuat tekan sebesar 250,56 Kg/cm²,dan yang memiliki nilai kuat tekan paling rendah di miliki beton dengan campuran batu bata merah dan limbah gypsum masing-masing 15% dengan nilai kuat tekan 195,56 Kg/cm².

This work was necessitated by the observations made at construction sites where artisans and craftsmen were left alone in concrete production. It was discovered that they used inadequate quantity and size of coarse aggregates due to difficulty associated in the mixing as if the coarse aggregates were not needed in concrete production. The research has established that the coarse aggregates and their sizes play critical roles in the development of adequate strength in concrete. It was observed that with proper mixing, the slump test results did not witness shear or collapse type of slump rather there were true slump in all cases of the test. The workability decreased with slight differences when the coarse aggregate size was increased. The increase in the coarse aggregates yielded appreciable increase in the compressive strength. It can therefore be inferred that the quality of concrete in terms of strength can be enhanced through an increase in the coarse aggregate size when proper mix ratio, batching, mixing, transporting, placing and finishings are employed in concrete productions.

Most of the construction uses concrete as the main building material because concrete has many advantages compared to other materials. Concrete has a high enough weight, various attempts were made to reduce the weight of the concrete for example using lightweight aggregates or concrete made without sand or concrete made hollow Innovations in the development of precast lightweight concrete are urgently needed at this time to support the development of development that is being carried out by the government. From the studies that have been carried out on lightweight concrete and fiber concrete, this research will develop the results of previous studies, namely by combining lightweight concrete and fiber concrete to obtain precast lightweight concrete. This research was conducted to find out how much influence the use of pumice and and fiber on compressive strength and flexural strength of precast lightweight concrete. Variations in the addition of a mixture of pumice with aggregate are divided into 4  comparisons, namely 0: 100, 20: 80, 40: 60, 60: 40, where each mixture is added 0.1% fiber from the volume of concrete, then printed in cube and beam molds.  Compressive tests were carried out on the cube and flexural tests were carried out on beams. From the test results was obtained that the addition of pumice to the concrete mixture can cause a decrease in compressive strength of the concrete from 202 kg/cm2 to 129 kg/cm2 whereas with the addition of fiber there is an increase in flexural strength is 24.48 kg/cm2. The specific gravity obtained is 1.664 gr/cm3 so this concrete can be classified into lightweight concrete.
