the lightweight concrete weights are depends upon their aggregates.... basically the weight of lightweight concrete is 50lb/cubic feet
the name itself says the concrete used here is of light weight.....the best example of this kind of structure is PANTHELON....
The Romans in 127 AD used crushed pumice for aggregates in cement (light weight concrete) for walls of Pantheon in Rome
Wet concrete weighs about 4,000 per cubic yard. Some types of concrete weigh more or less. Lightweight concrete weighs about 1,000 pounds less.
cement is binding material while concreat is an homogeneous mixtur of cement sand and soil water etc.
Normal weight concrete weighs about 4000 lb. per cubic yard. Lightweight concrete weighs about 3000 lb. per cubic yard. If a truck is carrying 10 cubic yards, then the weight of the concrete is approximately 40,000 lb. The truck will weigh approximately 26,000 lb. for a total of 66,000 lb.

There are two different types of concrete; normal and lightweight. Normal concrete has a weight of 4,000 pounds per cubic yard, while lightweight concrete weighs 1,000 pounds per cubic yard less.
Siporex is a lightweight, autoclaved, aerated concrete which is a completely cured, inert and stable form of calcium silicate hydrate. It is a structural material, approximately one quarter the weight of conventional concrete, composed of minute calls which give the material light weight and high thermal insulation properties.
He is a lightweight fighter.
lightweight drywall as opposed to standard weight. Not water or fire resistant. One sheet 4x12x1/2.
Typically a ready mix concrete weighs anywhere from 135 lbs to 160 lbs per cubic foot. The weight varies widely due to the different densities of the aggregates that are used in concrete mixes. Lightweight aggregates such as expanded shale can be used to significantly reduce weight but there is some sacrifice in strength taking this approach. Typically the denser the concrete and aggregates the higher the strength and weight.
