Abstract

Structural lightweight concrete is still in the early age of its usage in Malaysia. It advantages and application also haven't been exploit yet to the level it should be. The study were conducted to emphasis on the advantages of using structural lightweight concrete compare to the normal weight concrete. Information such as the physical and material properties were included and a few test that will be carried out in the study were explained in details. Through out the history structural lightweight concrete had been applied in many occasions especially in the construction industry. Its applications varies to multistory building frames and floors; curtain wall, shell roofs, bridges , marine structures and others. One of the example of light weight concrete is the Autoclaved Aerated Concrete AAC. Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is an ultra-light concrete. It is formed by thousands of homogeneous and totally independent air cells that provide AAC its superior properties such as thermal insulation and fire resistance, which can only be achieved in traditional systems through the combination of different materials.
