This study investigates the feasibility of incorporating Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) materials into concrete to produce lightweight concrete with improved mechanical properties. The experimental approach involves varying proportions of LECA aggregate in concrete mixes and assessing their compressive strength, density, workability, and durability. Additionally, the study examines the effect of LECA aggregate on the thermal and acoustic properties of lightweight concrete. Results from the experiments demonstrate the potential of LECA as a viable lightweight aggregate in concrete production, offering insights into optimizing mix designs for enhanced performance and sustainability in construction applications.
