Strength of Lightweight Structural Concrete Acting under Imposed Load

Background: Expanded polystyrene granules (EPG) can be used as an aggregate for producing lightweight concrete (LWC). EPG was to make LWC with a density of 1326kg/m 3 and 1337kg/m 3, while the without fiber had 1320kg/m . Due low strength brittleness LWC, need improve properties this type is necessary. Objective: The aim paper research investigate possible ways enhancing mechanical LWC. Hence, investigation work focuses on use chopped basalt (BF) steel (SF) separately dispersed reinforcement in compressive Methods: A general review from previous researchers similar conducted, then experimental method effect BF SF Nine series were produced tested. Compression testing measure sample. determined by mass volume. Results: results show concrete. reinforced obtained its maximum when 1.5% incorporated 1% included Conclusion: Based results, amount added affects not just but also density.
