This research deals with producing structural lightweight aggregates concrete (the density is less than 1920kg/m3 and compressive strength is more than 17.2Mpa according to ACI 213R-03) by using scoria aggregates. Several concrete mixes have been designed with different proportions of scoria aggregates. The cement content (c=450 kg/m3), the ratio (w/c = 0.36) were kept constant in all the mixes. Different tests were performed to determine some properties of product concrete such as density, compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. The density of product concrete was in the range of (1752-1917 kg/m3), compressive strength was in the range of (22.2-32.8Mpa), and the splitting strength was in the range of (2.3-3.2Mpa). The study demonstrated the possibility of production concrete achieved the Requirements of the American code ACI 213R-03 for structural lightweight concrete.

The accelerated structural expansion in most countries has resulted in a major problem related to providing the necessary concrete for these buildings. Besides, the buildings that have become out of service recently has posed a real problem represent ed in demolishing them creating a large amount of hard-to-manage aggregate. The necessity to get rid of the aggregate have opened up the possibilities for attempting to use it as a relative substitute for the natural aggregate. The research focuses on recycling these aggregate in an attempt to use them in producing concrete and other construction materials. The research deals with one of the mechanisms of benefiting from these recycled aggregate through using them in producing concrete through treating the aggregate produced from demolition, and mixing them in quantities that reflect their actual ratio. The results are of great importance economically and environmentally.
foamed concrete is a concrete made by cement slurry mixed with foaming agent, so that foamed concrete is lighter than conventional concrete. The objectives of this study is to produce this kind of concrete, and to study some of its physical and mec hanical properties. Mix design of concrete was made for four required densities (1000, 1300,1600,1900 kg/m3), cement content of 350 kg/ m3, and water to cement ratio equal to 0.5. Different tests were performed to determine some properties of product concrete such as density, compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. The results demonstrated the possibility of production foamed concrete with wide range of density and strength. The oven dry density of foamed concrete was in the range of (870-1773 kg/m3) , compressive strength was in the range of (2.95-16.2 Mpa ), and the splitting strength was in the range of (0.32-1.76Mpa).
The large increase in the volume of demolition concrete waste and its impact on the environment has led to reconsider of using concrete demolition rubble as a partial or a whole alternative of natural aggregates to produce new concrete which has th e required properties to use in engineering constructions[1]. With the possibility of improving the mechanical properties of this concrete by processing this aggregates before using it or support this concrete with fiber to improve its structural behavior. This research deals with the study of the replacement the natural aggregates used in concrete with recycled concrete aggregates resulting from the demolition rubble , according to different replacement ratiosranging between 0 % -25 % -50 % -75 % -100% and the impact on the concrete behavior with a natural aggregates and determine the optimal replacementpercentage. The results showed a relative decrease in the concrete resistance on the simple pressure , limited decrease in the volumetric mass also, and a slight adjustment to the behavior of concrete under the loading effect by increasing the replacement proportion of the natural aggregateswith recycled concrete aggregates..
Thepaper studies the mechanical properties ofsteel fibers reinforced lightweight concrete.This kind of concrete is produced by usingscoria aggregateswhich can be found abundantly in Syria. Thelightweight concrete mixeswere designed for three differ ent percentage of steel fibers (0, 0.5, 0.75)%. Different tests were performed to determine mechanical properties of product concrete such as compressive strength, elasticity modulus, splitting tensile strengthand flexural strengthalso; the stress–strain diagram of produced lightweight concrete was established under compression. The results showedanincrease of the compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths reach up 16.9%, 25.6%, and 53.6% respectivelywhen the steel fibers were used. Also the results indicated the importance of using the steel fibers to improve the performance of concrete and change its brittle behavior to ductile behavior.
In this research a study was carried out to evaluate the effect of adding random distribution plastic waste fiber inside soil on the geotechnical properties of clayey soil. The research is based on experimental method through many stages.
