Abstract: Nowadays, Lightweight concrete plays a major part in the construction industry. Lightweight concrete is preferred for many reasons because it improves sound insulation, it has good thermal properties, and it has low density. Cenosphere is a slight weight by -product from thermal power plants mainly composed of silica and alumina. The cenosphere is the lightest of cloth with lesser particular density and fly ash- based absolutely substances, so it can be synthesized into powder of immoderate fineness. This finely grinded cenosphere is currently applied in construction companies, manufacture of ceramic and slight weight composite, substances. Many researchers have already studied about the mechanical properties of cenosphere on concrete and distinct building substances. Even though there are various studies on addition of cenosphere to cement; it should be said that there was no software program studied on cenosphere on its effect on immoderate usual overall performance. This review article has been done to generate particular experimental data on the ability to use steady variation of fly ash and varying cenosphere as a cement alternative in elements in immoderate usual overall performance slight weight concrete. A by-product Fly Ash is formed from coal and made up of silicon dioxide and calcium oxide. Fly Ash is used in concrete to surge the performance, strength and stability of concrete. The use of flyash is one of the cost effective. The amount of Portland cement is reduced by using fly ash. It is used in the Portland cement has a lot of benefits and also improves the performance in fresh and hardened concrete state. Fly ash in cement mortar improves the workability and durability significantly. The purpose of the project is to use recycled industrial waste like fly ash to attain the strength and durability in lightweight concrete.
