| Abstract: | This paper is an experimental exploration on the use of lightweight concrete with Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA) in part of the substitution of typical coarse aggregates. The major aim is to assess the structural, thermal and physical performance of the Reinforced cement concrete. The concrete mixes with light weights were made using different proportions of ECA which was then standardly cast, cured and tested. Important parameters like the compressive strength, density and thermal insulation were tested and contrasted with the normal concrete. The findings suggest that inclusion of ECA is a significant way of reducing the density of concrete hence lowering the total dead load of buildings. Though there was a slight decrease in compressive strength, the values were still within the acceptable range in non-load bearing use. Along with that, the ECA concrete exhibited a better thermal and acoustic insulation effect owing to its porous makeup. The paper concludes that lightweight concrete made of ECA is a sustainable and economical alternative to modern construction. It has good environmental properties and performance features that have rendered it a potential material in the future construction practice. |
