Experimental Investigation and Comparative Study On the Strength of Ordinary Concrete and LWC Using Vermiculite Mineral

Abstract In recent development scenario, the lightweight concrete is a versatile material which offers a range of technical, economic and environmental-enhancing and preserving advantage and is designed to become a dominant material in the millennium. For structural application of light weight concrete, the density is often more important than the strength. A decreased density for the same strength level reduces the self-weight, foundation size and construction cost. Structural lightweight aggregate concrete is generally used to reduce dead weight of the structure as well as to reduce the risk of seismic damage to a structure because the seismic forces that will influence the civil engineering structures are proportional to the mass of those structures.
In this study, structural light weight aggregate concrete was designed with the use of natural vermiculite aggregate that will provide an advantage of reducing dead weight of structure and to obtain a more economical structural light weight concrete by the use of vermiculite power as a partial replacement of sand. Five mixes were produced with the cement content of 356 kg/m³ and water cement ratio 0.45. More over the group had proportion of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% as vermiculite replacement.
The main scope of our project is to learn and gather knowledge of strength, and density. It may help us to get clear idea about the light weight concrete, using vermiculite.
