Concrete of 300 and 400 dosages was produced by adding various amount of SSH (5, 10, 20 and 30%). The replacement of SSH dramatically reduced the unit weight, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and freezing-thawing resistance, but it increased the water absorption rate after 28 and 90 days. Its physical and mechanical properties show that concrete produced with SSH has great potential as a low cost lightweight building material.
