The increase in building activity as a result of population expansion has resulted an overexploitation aggregate, with disastrous environmental consequences. Simultaneously, the disposal spent garnet by shipbuilding industry and palm oil clinker mills harms environment needs greater amount landfill space. Therefore, purpose this study was to determine influence fine aggregate substitute on fres...

The type of lightweight aggregate and its volume fraction in a mix determine the density of lightweight concrete. Minimizing the density obviously requires a higher volume fraction, but this usually causes aggregates segregation in a conventional mixing process. This paper proposes a two-stage casting process to produce a lightweight concrete. This process involves placing lightweight aggregate...

Nowadays, lightweight aggregate concrete is becoming more popular due to its versatile properties. It mainly helps reduce the dead loads of structure, which ultimately reduces design load requirements. The main challenge associated with finding an optimized mix per However, conventional material this composite quite costly, time-consuming, and iterative. This research proposes a simplified meth...
