Abstract: The use of lightweight concrete can provide specific advantages that are favoring for mitigating seismic risk in building design. On the other hand, a significant reduction of carbon footprint could be possible through the use of geopolymer concrete. However, geopolymer concrete is mostly assessed through small specimens without reinforcement elements. This paper aims to couple the advantage of lightweight mixtures and ambient-cured geopolymerization in reinforced beams. To do this, engineering performance of reinforced lightweight geopolymer concrete was extensively investigated with different aspects. In mixtures, pumice and volcanic tuff aggregates were used with an appropriate gradation. Flexural strength, deflection capacities, initial stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of reinforced geopolymer beams were investigated with the proposed configuration. Compressive strength and unit weight of the developed mixtures were also evaluated to meet design requirements for lightweight concrete. Results indicated that certain engineering properties (energy dissipation capacity and initial stiffness) of developed lightweight geopolymer concrete were considerably comparable with lightweight Portland cement-based concrete. Although compressive strength and unit weight of the developed geopolymer mixtures were satisfying, microstructural analysis indicated a weak bonding behavior between paste and lightweight aggregates.
