This paper predicts the rate of lightweight concrete density influenced by variation of heterogeneous aggregate deposition and void ratios. The study try to monitor the behaviour of this material under slight modification in concrete formations, variation of mixed designs output were observed to determined most concrete densities in structures, the basis for light weight concrete is to ensure imposed loads are reduced, this include other structural elements such column size, footings and other load bearing elements, such significant condition expressed the imperative of light weight concrete density in concrete structures, the study developed this element of concrete parameter to monitor the growth rate of the element under the slight modification from addictive material, such mixed design are applied to achieve all the required target parameters, such strength and other required characteristics in concrete structure are based on the these parameters, the study provided plate form for mechanical and durability performance that is required, the standard for efficient strength-to- weight ratio in structural element are achieved, this condition explained the advantage it has in the reduction of less reinforced steel including reduction of volume concrete. The study were developed to monitor light weight concrete density based on these factors, this were observed to determine the application of lightweight concrete density. This condition implies that the rate of lightweight concrete density modified will always attained such required status, the lightweight concrete simulation parameter are within the specification that can be achieved in such required rate. The study has express the significant of light weight concrete density based on the required level in other relevant area advantage of structural elements.
