This study deals with the development of Floating concrete by using lightweight aggregate (Pumice stone) and Aluminum powder as an air entraining agent. Floating concrete is made by introducing air or gas into concrete slurry, so that when the mix sets and hardens, uniform cellular structure is formed. Thus it is a mixture of water, cement and ...

These aggregates produce concretes generally in the strength range of 3000 to 4000 psi; higher strengths are attainable and are discussed in Art. 4.17. The air-dry unit weight of normal strength lightweight concrete (less than 5000 psi) ranges from 100 to 115 pcf. High-performance lightweight concrete has unit weights in the range of 120 pcf.
