ABSTRACT:-

Due to increasing population developing country like india has scarcity of

land. To fulfill the one of the basic need housing for all , vertical growth of building are
taking place which results in more stress on mother earth in the form of dead load of
structure. In this regard to cutdown the deadload of structure light weight concrete whose
density varies from 1200kg/m3 to 1200kg/m3 which is less when compared to normal concrete
of density 2400kg/m3 .
Our previous batches has obtained M20 and M30 grade of light weight concrete by blending
lica and cinder and successfully achieved compressive strength . Now its time to check the
durability of these concrete . Since the aggregate used is light weight which may be effected
from permeability , chemical reactions and fire . So hence the present investigations focuses
on durability study of structural light weight concrete.
