The purpose of this paper is to look at how employing both super plasticizers and highly reactive meta-kaolin additives affects the compressive strength regarding LECAC lightweight expanded clay aggregate concrete in addition to various concrete parameters. The coarse-grained aggregate utilized was lightweight clay with maximum size of 10mm; the best percentages regarding chemical and mineral additives have been partial substitution of 10% cement for meta-kaolin mineral additives and 0.6 L / 100 kg cement for Super plasticizers. The percentages that have been gained from improved compressive strength (8.6, 20, and 17.6) % for processing ages have been 7, 28, and 56, respectively, in comparison with indicated level mix when meta-kaolin mineral admixture was only added to it, whereas the common effect of the two additives was evident in percentages (25.2, 29.4, 28) % for treatment ages 7, 28, and 56, in comparison with the mixture that has been indicated via the plane. For a concrete mix comprising additives, the equilibrium density attained was 1798 kg/m3 (ACI 213-R-03, < 1840 kg/m3 for structural purposes). Furthermore, the water absorption regarding LECA concrete was lowered through adding Meta kaolin (9.6 and 7.7) % at (28 and 56) days of curing, respectively, while addition of super plasticizer produces a rise in water absorption, and above-mentioned ratios that have been reduced to (5.8 and 2.1) % at such ages.
