    <abstract language="eng">Fly ash and silica fume are mineral admixtures that are used in the production of M30 grade concrete, which is composed of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, vermiculite, and potable water. Water-to-cement ratio (w/c) has been established at 0.45. In this experimental investigation, concrete cubes and split tensile cylinders will be used with varying quantities of vermiculite: 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. The compression and split tensile strength of vermiculite concrete specimens are analyzed after 7, 14, and 28 days of curing, revealing a substantial increase in strength. Instead of sand, vermiculite is employed as the primary infill in concrete. The self-weight of the structure will be reduced by utilizing fine aggregate in place of vermiculite. This leads to a decrease in the cost of construction.</abstract>
