Abstract

A building can be defined as an enclosed structure intended for human occupancy. Constructions work can be seen in almost all the developing countries. With the increases in material cost in the construction work, there is a need to find more cost saving alternatives so as to maintain the cost of construction houses , multi storey etc, which can be affordable to people. In the manufacturing of burnt clay bricks, smoke evolved at a great extent and also some toxic gases which can harm an environment. So as to overcome with all these problem, Cellular lightweight concrete blocks are used which is more economical and eco-friendly. This project presents the study on the previous analysis of structures using Cellular lightweight concrete blocks. Cellular Lightweight Concrete has been successfully used and it has gained popularity due to its lower density and comparative strength than conventional brick. It is created by uniform distribution of air bubbles throughout the mass of concrete. The foam contains isolated air bubbles, which creates million of unconnected tiny voids/cells in the mix resulting in lighter weight of concrete. CLC can be produced in wide range of controlled densities from 400 kg/m3 to 1,800 kg/m3.
