Abstract: AUSTRIA, CHRISTINE B.; DELOS SANTOS, CHERRY MAE R. GUERRA, LYRA ELA T.; and REYES, RHEA R.; Applied Research III (General Science Curriculum), Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, March 2001, “FABRICATION OF LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE FROM INDIGENOUS MATERIALS.” Advisers: Engr. Ronaldo Serimogan Prof. Dulce Ramos. The study entitled “Comparative study of Fabricated Lightweight Concrete from Indigenous Materials” was undertaken to fabricate indigenous materials in the production of lightweight concrete. Specifically, it aimed to: (a) prepare lightweight concrete from indigenous materials, (b) determine the compressive strength of the lightweight concrete produce; (c) to differentiate the compressive strength of the lightweight concrete and ordinary concrete blocks. The study was conducted at the Asphalt and Concrete Testing ‘ Inc., National Road, Brgy. Maduya, Carmona, Cavite on March 2001. The proportion used in the study were Treatment 1, with the proportion of 1:2:3 (cement-sand-sawdust), Treatment 2, proportion of 1.5:1.5:2 (cement-sand-sawdust) and Treatment 3, with the proportion of 2:2:1, which is cement-sand- and-rubber. The density of the lightweight concrete was computed. Treatment 3 has a density of 0.6375; Treatment 2 has 0.5025; and Treatment 1 has 0.4625. It was proven that rubber and sawdust could be used as a substitute from gravel to produce lightweight concrete, although Treatment 2 is lighter than Treatment 3. It is also recommended to use Treatment | for the fabrication of lightweight concrete. In terms of compressive strength, Treatment 1 and Treatment 2 obtained the 7 strength of 281 psi in one day while the CHB obtained only 750 psi in 28 days.
