Abstract
Overpopulation and the fast growth of industries and lifestyles nowadays increase the use of natural resources while decreasing their availability. Humans, on the other hand, always increase waste and need to dispose of it in some way, which has an impact on the environment. As a result, the increased waste created by industrial factories and human activities must be handled, so scientists have developed different concepts of engineering, such as sustainable engineering and green engineering, in order to minimize energy and natural resource usage. Light weight concrete (LWC) is manufactured by replacing light weight components with natural aggregates. Weight reduction is an important goal in architecture and construction because it functions as an excellent thermal insulator and reduces construction costs and time. The current research was separated into three main sections: - Preliminary investigation into the effects of various factors on the properties of light weight concrete, such as industrial waste materials, trapped air addition, and pozzolanic material. - Basic study consisted of three groups and a total of 54 mixture designs to investigate the effect of using different industrial waste materials as fine and coarse aggregates, as well as trapped air addition, on the behaviour of LWC, which was evaluated using mechanical and microstructure characterization. Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) and waste pigments (WP) were used as industrial waste materials, silica fume (SF) and fly ash (FA) as pozzolanic material (PZ), and lightcrete (LC) as a trapped air addition in group 1. group 2 investigates the influence of industrial waste materials as fine and coarse aggregates and the influence of SF as a pozzolanic material. group 3 studies the nteraction of pozzolanic material with trapped air additions (TAD) made from industrial waste. -Best mix study concentrated on the mix that produces the best results when using industrial waste materials, trapped air addition, and pozzolanic materials to produce sustainable light weight concrete using slump, compressive, splitting tensile, flexural, density, porosity, and microstructure characterization tests like SEM, EDS, XRD, and TGA/DTG tests.
