Abstract : Archimedes Principle (Law of Buoyancy) to support the structure at a moderate andconvenient depth. The solid body of a floating concrete construction is composed of lightweight components. Due to its low density and moderate range of compressive strengths, concrete is suitable for a variety of tests, including water buoyancy, spilt tensile strength, slump test, flow properties, and others. This project focuses on the creation of mix design for these tests; it is applicable to non- structural application. Applications of floating concrete are Marine construction, Infrastructure, Architectural. In this work, components with lower specific gravities than traditional concrete were used to create floating concrete in varying quantities. On the seventh, fourteenth, and twenty-eighth days after casting, testing is conducted.

Keywords : Floating Concrete, Light Weight Concrete, Mix Design, Law Of Buoyancy.
