Compared to conventional concrete, lightweight concrete offers a reduced unit weight, making it easier to handle and transport. Its popularity has surged globally in numerous countries and has proven beneficial for construction purposes. Lightweight concrete often exhibits better thermal insulation properties compared to traditional concrete, contributing to energy efficiency in buildings. Recently, the inclusion of cenospheres in lightweight aggregates is being is heavily researched around the world. Ceneosphere addition increases the volume of the concrete mixture because of their smaller size and hollow nature of the particle. This research paper showcases the various applications and advantages of lightweight concrete (LWC) containing cenosphere, along with highlighting the role of different supplementary cementitious materials characteristics and manufacturing methods. Furthermore, the current study examines previous researches on sustainable lightweight concretes and showcases the improvements and advancements in mechanical, durability, and thermal properties obtained when cenospheres were added.
Key words: Light weight concrete / Mechanical properties / Durability properties / Thermal properties / Supplementary cementitious material
