 Introduction
This study is presents the stress-strain curve for the lightweight concrete.

 In general there is the theoretical calculation of the moment of resistance but when the materials are different in the
concrete the stress strain curve are different as well as the moment of resistance are different.

The lightweight concrete is used in this process, it is the type of the concrete which includes the expansive agent that
increases the volume of the mixture while giving the additional qualities such as lessened dead weight. The main
specialties are low density and thermal conductivity, easier transportation and handling costs for which it is highly used in
the construction industry.

1. Experimental Study of Stress- Xiang Liua, The ascent stage of stress-strain curve in axial compression of
Strain Curves of Lightweight Jiangtao lightweight aggregate concrete is coincident with common concrete in
Aggregate Concrete Kong(2010). same strength grade, the descent stage of lightweight aggregate concrete
is more steep.
2. Stress–strain model for normal- Jian C. Lim, The proposed model provides improved predictions of the peak stress
and light-weight concretes Togay and strain of unconfined and confined concretes compared to existing
under Ozbakkaloglu models. In addition, the model is capable of predicting the change in
uniaxial and triaxial (2014) shapes of stress–strain curves of various types of concrete, including
compression normal and light-weight concretes.

3. Stress-strain behavior in G. Campione, In the presence of fibers, concrete reinforced with steel spirals shows an
compression of lightweight fiber L. La increase in the strength and corresponding strain and the energy

4. Stress-strain Curves Of Wang, P T Shah, S P The analytic expression has four constants which depend on the
Normal And Lightweight Naaman, A E(1978) properties of both the ascending and the descending portions of the
Concrete In Compression stress-strain curve and can be evaluated from the knowledge of four key
points of the curve. The coordinates of the four key points were
expressed in function of the compressive strength of concrete so as to
allow prediction of the entire curve solely from the knowledge of the
compressive strength.
5. Stress–strain relationship T. H. Almusallam, S. This paper presents a simple empirical model that can predict the stress-
of normal, high-strength H. Alsayed(1995) strain curve of NC,HSC and LWC. The ultimate compressive strength
and lightweight concrete of the concrete is the only input datum needed to run the model. The
model was developed on the basis of average data collected for
specimens with different concrete characteristics and tested under
various loading conditions.
6. Application of pumice Meysam Najimi, Ali Only mixes with high amount of cement, meet the strength
aggregate in structural Reza requirements of structural lightweight concrete. Therefore, these
lightweight concrete Pourkhorshidi(2012) lightweight aggregates are suitable for structural lightweight concrete
construction.
Objective of the Project

1. To find out the stress strain curve for the lightweight concrete beam.
2. To compare the results of the stress strain curve for the lightweight concrete with the
theoretical one.
3. To find out the relationship between the theoretical and the experimental nature between the
stress strain nature of the lightweight concrete.

Conclusion
Hence from the above results we can conclude that the stress strain curve for the no fine concrete
is more steep than that of the normal concrete. The strain values varies from the strain of 0.0035
in the normal concrete to that of the no fines as 0.00185.
