Concrete is the most important, unavoidable and versatile construction material. The Conventional Concrete is a poor thermal insulating material, by comparing the Light Weight Concrete (LWC) provides good insulation in thermal properties and it will absorb high thermal energy and release it, when the internal temperature drops below in the concrete. The stratified concrete panels belongs the light weight category and it poses a promising alternative solution for the construction. It has limited thermal mass but it is excellent insulating property when compared to commercial type. The stratification is achieved by vibrating the concrete in different density. The panels are made by using waste and recycled materials such as Fly-ash, Expanded Polystyrene, Expanded Glass Beads, Slag and Silica fume. In this paper, the literature study has been done in the structural behavior of the stratified wall panels and conventional wall panels with appropriate testing methodology.
