Experiment on the Mechanical Behavior of Integrated Concrete-Foam Glass Sandwich Blocks

Abstract:

The mechanical behavior of integrated concrete/lightweight aggregate concrete-foam glass Sandwich blocks was tested in this paper. Foam glass plate was inserted and poured together into the Sandwich block. The compressive strength and the tensile strength normal to the interface were tested and analyzed. The results indicate that, the compressive strength of Sandwich blocks is mainly depended on concrete/lightweight concrete parts. The damage of Sandwich blocks in tensile test is due to the tensile strength insufficiency of foam glass plates. The bonding between the foam glass plates and concrete/lightweight concrete performs well whether in the compressive or in tensile experiment. It provides a tentative guideline to manufacture jointly poured concrete-foam glass Sandwich blocks.
