The purpose of this study is to evaluate qualities of lightweight aggregate for structural concrete according to mixing proportions, pelletizer condition, sintering condition and to choose the suitable main and sub material. Main material used paper sludge ash(PSA) and sub material used clay, fly-ash and paper sludge. The aggregates are sintered after granulating at the various condition. As the result of test, quality difference of aggregate showed clear according to the mixing proportions and sintering conditions. It was possible to manufacture lightweight aggregate for structural concrete that dry specific gravity was ranged about 0.9 to 1.4 also the test results of the aggregates showed same physical properties compared with abroad product as 10% granules crushing value from 5 or 10% and absorption percentage from 10 to 20%.
