    The high strength of concrete required a lot of cement content to increase its strength but not for the anti washout concrete (AWC) or underwater concrete (UWC). AWC will face another problem which is higher cement content could make the segregation to occur. This segregation process will give bad impact to the strength of the AWC. This research studied on four different cement content to examine: 450 kg/m3, 500 kg/m3, 550 kg/m3 and 600 kg/m3 towards its fresh and hardened properties of concrete. Superplasticizer is used as water reducing agent in the mix proportions to achieve high strength and self-consolidated concrete. Apart from that, there are two types of concrete samples produced, the air sampling concrete and underwater sampling concrete which have the same mix proportion. The overall results show a good correlation between the cement content in the mix and the strength of the air sampling concrete achieved. However, anti washout concrete having issues which is segregation. This segregation had affected the strength of the concrete. In conclusion, Anti washout concrete shows that optimal cement content without any viscocity modifying agent (VMA) is at 550 kg/m3

    Foamed concrete is considered a green building material, which is porous in nature. As a result, it poses benefits such as being light in self-weight, and also has excellent thermal insulation properties, environmental safeguards, good fire resistance performance, and low cost. Nevertheless, foamed concrete has several disadvantages such as low strength, a large amount of entrained air, poor toughness, and being a brittle material, all of which has restricted its usage in engineering and building construction. Hence, this study intends to assess the potential utilization of polypropylene fibrillated fiber (PFF) in foamed concrete to enhance its engineering properties. A total of 10 mixes of 600 and 1200 kg/m3 densities were produced by the insertion of four varying percentages of PFF (1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%). The properties assessed were splitting tensile, compressive and flexural strengths, workability, porosity, water absorption, and density. Furthermore, the correlations between the properties considered were also evaluated. The outcomes reveal that the foamed concrete mix with 4% PFF attained the highest porosity, with approximately 13.9% and 15.9% for 600 and 1200 kg/m3 densities in comparison to the control specimen. Besides, the mechanical properties (splitting tensile, compressive and flexural strengths) increased steadily with the increase in the PFF percentages up to the optimum level of 3%. Beyond 3%, the strengths reduced significantly due to poor PFF dispersal in the matrix, leading to a balling effect which causes a degraded impact of scattering the stress from the foamed concrete vicinity to another area of the PFF surface. This exploratory investigation will result in a greater comprehension of the possible applications of PFF in LFC. It is crucial to promote the sustainable development and implementation of LFC materials and infrastructures.
