Abstrakt: Conventional high temperature fly ash has been used for manufacturing of construction materials, concrete in particular, for quite a long time. Fluidized bed combustion fly ash, however, has little use in this area, mainly for its chemical composition and morphology. Current efforts are directed towards the development of new technological processes and building materials that would allow the use of this industrial waste and its qualities. One possible way of fluidized bed combustion fly ash’s utilizing in construction industry is the production of cold balled lightweight aggregate. Production of this material is economically advantageous and enables processing of large volumes of raw materials. This paper describes possibilities of using this aggregate for production of lightweight concrete of lower compressive strength classes and consequent testing of durability and resistance to various types of aggressive environment and cyclical freezing and thawing. Physico-mechanical properties and microscopic defects were also studied
