Light-weight aerated concrete (LAC) is produced by making LAC involves the addition of a gas-forming admixture like aluminium powder (AP) to a wet mortar mixture. In concrete during curing, AP will react with the calcium hydroxide in the mixture to form hydrogen. The amount of gas-forming is dependent on the mechanical properties requirements. The aim of the current work was to investigate the properties of aerated concrete (AC) containing 30% fly ash and various AP content, including dry density, porosity and modulus of elasticity, as well as strengths of test specimens. The results of this study showed that when AP content increased, the density of AC decreased, but its porosity increased. Whereas an increase in the amount of AP caused a decrease in both the compressive strength, tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity of ACspecimens. The investigation of newly modified AC through combination of local by-product in Vietnam would decrease the content of Portland cement was used and as well as reduce the amounts of ash and slag TPP as well as industrial waste thrown at a landfill. Therefore, assisting the thermoelectric power plants to be more environmentally friendly in the future.
