Physical and mechanical properties of foamed concrete, a literature review
Foamed concrete has superior rheological and thermal insulation properties along with a low density and high strength/weight ratio. Also, foamed concrete has reduced manufacturing and transportation costs compared to conventional concrete and can be utilized in structural elements. Foamed concrete...

| description | Foamed concrete has superior rheological and thermal insulation properties along with a low density and high
strength/weight ratio. Also, foamed concrete has reduced manufacturing and transportation costs compared to conventional
concrete and can be utilized in structural elements. Foamed concrete significantly lowers the self-weight of the superstructure and
contributes large energy savings. This review mainly focuses on the ingredients and techniques required for the production of
foam concrete, mix design techniques, and the physical, functional, and mechanical properties. The key motive for this
systematic quantitative literature survey was to identify research gaps in existing literature and also to provide extensive insights
regarding suitable applications of cellular concrete. |
