The bulk density of different lightweight aggregate lies in the range of 10 to 1300 kg/m 3 having up to 20% water absorption capacity. The cell size of LWA can lead to variation in strength and bulk density of lightweight aggregate concrete, greater cell size of LWA lead to a decrease in density and strength performance of LWA. •
