By Ken Harmon Despite having well-documented performance capabilities, lightweight concrete often conjures several questions in the minds of specifiers. How did lightweight concrete come to be? When crushed, this material can be added to concrete mixes to reduce deadloads and improve the performance of concrete.

Definition of Lightweight Concrete Generally, the density of conventional concrete is about 2200 to 2600 kg/m3. The concrete, which is having a density ranging from 300 to 1850 kg/m3 can be called lightweight concrete. This heavy self-weight makes it uneconomical.
