The work investigate methodology of creating lightweight self-compacting concrete (LWSCC), with a specific emphasis on utilizing natural and industrial waste materials and theirs effect on the workability and strength properties. The cement replaced with 10%, 20%, and 30% of (limestone powder (LP)), 10%, 20%, and 30% of (calcined kaolin clay (CKC)), and 20% (ground granular blast slag (GGBS)) as substitutes of Portland cement in a binary and ternary mixes. Substitution of 30% CKC decrease slump flow (mm) by 7.5% compared to control mix while the binary mixes of 30% LP and 20% GGBS increased slump flow value by 4.2% and 3.6% respectively compared with control mix. Binary mixes decreased in density at all ages, except the mix of 20% GGBS increase the density by 38 g at 7 days and by 40g at 28 days compared to control mix. Lowest density was observed in binary mixes with 30% CKC and 30% LP by 61g, and 51g respectively compared to control mix. The binary mixtures exhibited an increase in compressive strength over time, with the 20% GGBS mixture demonstrating the most substantial improvements. The 10% CKC mixture demonstrated notable strength improvements, particularly at 7-day. The 20% LP mixture demonstrated robust performance, attaining 50.3MPa after 90 days. The 30% CKC mixture exhibited diminished performance, particularly at initial curing ages. The 10% LP and 30% CKC mixtures did not attain strengths equivalent to those of higher LP and lower CKC blends. The control mixture surpassed all combinations.
