Review on Aerated Lightweight Concrete Challenges and Application

This study explores the use of environmentally friendly Aerated Lightweight Concrete (ALC) in constructions, focusing on its versatility and adaptability to various densities. The growing demand for lightweight building materials with excellent strength-to-weight ratios has led to an expansion in the use of ALC over the past decade. The focus is on creating customized ALC for specific uses, rather than introducing novel materials. The article analyzes the primary variables affecting ALC use, such as raw materials, manufacturing processes, and anticipated density-based features. The review aims to demonstrate how ALC's physical and mechanical properties can be altered for building applications using new and alternative raw materials.
