In Japan, lightweight concrete is used to support the foundation against the earthquakes. Lightweight concrete technology is quite friendly with the environment by reducing five times the amount of carbon dioxide of the production from the raw material process till the recycle wastes process. Since the born of lightweight concrete in building industry, baked bricks (made from natural clays) in developed countries are banded to protect the environment and national resources. On the other hand, lightweight concrete with the gas bubbles (up to in diameter) is applied popularly by ⅛ inch countries with high technologies such as United States of America, Germany, France, Japan, etc. in handling multiple technical issues such as making the foundation for highways, anti-slip subsidence in the mountainous areas or weak land areas to bring back huge economic benefits. Because of its advantages, lightweight has taken an part of developed countries such as Europe, North America, and North Asia as well as the attention of some countries in replacing its traditional building material which is red brick, regular concrete and clay block.
