Abstract
Lightweight Concrete (CLC), which is a waste from CLC manufacturing. Even though, this type of lightweight concrete has less compressive strength than ordinary concrete block. But it has advantageous properties such as heat insulation, Sound insulation, light weight, and ability to trimmed. Moreover, recycling the waste can reduce the impacts on environment. By experiment the ratio of CLC concrete fragment in concrete blocks as a coarse aggregate. The researchers compared the properties of ordinary concrete blocks with CLC mixed concrete blocks according to the non-load-bearing concrete standards (TIS 58-2533) [1]. The results show that dry unit weight is inversely variation to specimens (1) ordinary concrete block, (2) concrete block with CLC passed sieve no. 4 and (3) no. 8 respectively. Compressive strength is directly variation to dry unit weight. And water absorption is inversely variation to dry unit weight. Finally, the specimens that passed the standard criterias are ordinary and mixed CLC passed sieve no. 4. There are samples also can be improved in construction technology and reduce environmental impact.
