has been widely spread across countries such as USA, United Kingdom and
Sweden, etc.
Many production by high tech companies in Myanmar.
Problem statements
Objectives
My aim is
to achieve performance and to know exactly application of CLC
Sub goals are
to produce CLC blocks widely for local construction site,
to prevent the extra wastes from construction mixing plants,
to save cost and time effectively for construction,
to perform a good building with best quality,
to save energy in industrials furnaces and
to be safe and economical in earthquake forces also.
Research questions
The goal of this study is to know specifically about CLC, how to use and why
CLC being the widely used material in construction industry in all developing
countries and developed countries. CLC can be replaced by steel or timber to
improve the quality and durability while being cost effective. We can get many
advantages for construction industry by using CLC. The following are the main
questions for CLC;
Main questions:
The following sub-questions are come out from the main questions. I will find
the answers of these sub questions by doing this research.
Sub-questions:
1. What are the applications for CLC in construction?
2. What are the mixing materials to perform stable CLC?
3. What are the famous properties of CLC?
4. What are advantages and disadvantages for using CLC?
5. What are the mixing design for production CLC?
6. How can be classified for CLC and what are the technical specification of CLC
for construction?
7. What is the difference between using of CLC and other concrete?
8. Where CLC works can be mainly use in the constructions?

Compressive strength
Compressive strength can varies with type and source of aggregate, and there is
no reliable correlation between aggregate strength and concrete strength
All aggregates have strength ceilings, that is, a maximum strength attainable
with a reasonable quantity of cement.
is usually related to the cement content at a given slump, rather than to the
water/cement ratio.
in some case, compressive strength can be increased by replacing part of the
fine lightweight aggregate with good quality natural sand.
Cellular lightweight concrete can be suitable for earthquake areas.
Light in Weight
Eco Friendly
Economical
Disadvantages
in the mixtures very sensitive with
water content
Difficult to place and finish because of
the porosity and angularity of the
aggregate. In some mixes the cement
mortar may separate the aggregate and
float towards the surface.
Mixing time is longer than conventional
concrete to assure proper mixing.

Experimental Program
At first start with the water and fly ash.
Mix for a few minutes and add cement in stages and make sure the mixing is
thorough (Mortar slurry preparation).
Preparation of pre-foamed by diluted the foam agent with water and extracted by
using foam generator and air compressor.
After that, add foam to the wet slurry and ensure foam has been completely
mixed with the mortar.
After mixing is completed check that the wet density of the foamed concrete is
close to what is required.
To continue............
After an additional mixing to get uniform consistency, the slurry form of After
an additional mixing to get uniform consistency, the slurry form of foamed
cellular concrete is pumped into assembled moulds of blocks.
The dimensions of the blocks are 600 X 200 X 150 mm. The foam imparts free
flowing characteristics to this slurry due to ball bearing effect of foam bubbles
enabling it to easily flow into all corners and compact by itself in the
moulds/forms without requiring any kind of vibration or compaction.
The blocks are then cured and this curing is done by Water for 2 to 3 weeks.
The same curing process can be steam curing also for 10 hours, which is
advantageous in terms of time.
Thirdly, if possible, I will content some experimental program to understand the mechanical, physical
properties in construction site for making comparison between CLC and other similar materials. This
includes compression and tension and density tests because as we know some materials are weaker or
stronger in tension or compression.
And also I will take a references some of tend of the structural strength tests already done by literature
tests should be evaluated and compared base are finding research. The thickness of the material should also
be taken into account. There will also have to be looked at how the different weather conditions can
influence the durability of the different materials and if it would influence the structural strength of it.
Water will have an impact on CLC for example and it should be looked at and ways to treat the CLC to
be weather resistant should be applied. And then, I can know how can I classified for CLC blocks by grade
A, B, C. The cost of the different materials will be compared by doing an estimate using square meter rates.

It is a lightweight, precast building material that
simultaneously provides structure, insulation, and fire- and
mold-resistance. In addition, it improves thermal efficiency by
reducing the heating and cooling load in buildings. Its porous
structure also allows for superior fire resistance.
This resource efficiency gives reduces environmental
impact in all phases of its life cycle, from processing of raw
materials to the disposal of waste. Furthermore, it has many
advantages like its cost savings in transportation, labor and
increases the chances of survival during seismic activity.

Conclusion
By using cellular lightweight concrete for building construction, it can reduce
the reinforcement in the structure and reduces the size of the member. The building
can be design in an economical way by applying CLC widely. The usage of CLC
blocks gives a prospective solution to building construction industry. By using fly
ash in foamed concrete, CLC can greatly improve its properties. CLC is excellent
for strong yet light walls, noise insulating floors and leak proof roofs. By using
cellular lightweight blocks the overall cost of construction is reducing and it will be
safe and economical in earthquake forces also.
