Experimental Investigation of Floating slab with Incorporated Pumice stone and Vermiculite PROJECT ABSTRACT This Project deals with the development of Floating type of concrete by using lightweight aggregate Pumice stone and Aluminium powder as an air entraining agent There are many types of lightweight concrete which can be produced either by using lightweight aggregate or by using an air entraining agent In this study we have to work on combination of above mentioned types This concrete is a non structural concrete In this study comparison has be made between plain cement concrete and lightweight concrete having different proportion of Aggregate size and fix quantity of Aluminumcontent i e 2 8 by the weight of cement has been taken into account It helps to increase volume of concrete and hence reduce the weight Keywords Floating concrete Pumice stone Aluminium powder Density Compressive strength OBJECTIVE The main objective of the floating concrete is to increase the resisting capacity of the concrete while the external loads acted on it and to set them in stable condition without disrupting the environmental surroundings The floating concrete provides the solution for the land reclamation and it also promotes the protection for the coastal area region from the high wave s intensity and therefore minimizing the damage in the coastal body caused due to the intensity of waves
