Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of using Artificial Lightweight aggregates (ALWA) from clay soil as partial substitution for coarse aggregates in normal concrete by determine the mass of concrete and its effect on the compressive strength. The proportion of ALWA in design mix was 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% with w/c ratio 0.3 and 25 Mpa in concrete strength. The method used was ACI with cylinder sample at test age 28 and 56 days. The weight of ALWA concrete was 12.97 kg and 13.05 kg (0%), 12.07 kg and 12.12 kg (10%), 11.45kg and 11.58kg (20%) and 10.95 kg and 11.17 kg (30%). The test result in 0 % ALWA concrete was 25.67 MPa and 25.95 MPa, 23.40 MPa and 23.87 MPa (10%), 18.02 MPa and 18.49 MPa (20%) and 15.29 MPa and 15.85 MPa (30%). The results indicated that the higher the percentage in ALWA, the less the weight of concrete. Variation in ALWA percentages affected the compressive strength, but in concrete ages, it did not have effect. However, the strength of the concrete may decrease, but still can be used as a structural concrete with a lighter weight.
