Lightweight Aggregate Concrete: Strength Analysis
The lightweight concrete (LWC) has been successfully employed, by the ancient Romans and its popularity has grown for its reduced density and higher thermal insulation capabilities. Compared to ordinary mix concrete (OMC), LWC can substantially lessen the dead load of high-rise structures. The density of LWC is comparatively low i.e. 300 to 1850 kg/m3,

Caracterización mecánica experimental de un hormigón ligero estructural = Experimental mechanical characterisation of a structural lightweight aggregate concrete [PDF]
The self load of the structure is usually similar even bigger than any other load load which a structure carries. Due to this fact a number of structure are inefficient.
