Floating concrete is a special type of innovative concrete whose density is less than 1000 kg/m³. This study deals with the development of Floating concrete by using lightweight aggregate (Pumice stone) and Aluminum powder as an air entraining agent. Floating concrete is made by introducing air or gas into concrete slurry, so that when the mix sets and hardens, uniform cellular structure is formed. An attempt has been made in this study to develop a Floating concrete based on trials with an emphasis on overall density. Also, attempt has been made to obtain Floating concrete with considerable compressive strength. In this study, floating concrete was successfully developed using the ingredients whose specific gravity is less than that in the conventional concrete. Study reveals pumice could be successfully used as an alternative to coarse aggregate which in turn results in lower density when compared to conventional material used in concrete.
