  By Chaitali B Guledagudd, Kannam Praveen, Akshath Gowda, Pooja L J, Kavana T

  Abstract: Lightweight concrete (LWC) is a pioneering solution in the construction sector, characterized by its unique composition and versatile applications. Engineered with lightweight aggregates and additives, LWC achieves a significant reduction in dry density compared to conventional concrete, making it 23% to 87% lighter, with densities ranging from 300 to 1,840 kg/m³. This reduced weight makes LWC ideal for projects requiring load minimization, such as high-rise buildings and prefabricated elements. A …
