Influence of Material Properties of Input Raw Materials on Microstructure of Aerated Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

One of the basic conditions of production of high quality products from aerated concrete is selection of appropriate input raw materials. Their material properties have crucial influence on the whole process of production of the products from aerated concrete - from behavior of fresh mix of aerated concrete through setting to development of mineralogical phases during autoclaving. Properties of input materials, in particular their chemical composition has considerable impact on the final properties of the product made from aerated concrete. This paper summarizes current knowledge from the research of microstructure of fly ash aerated concrete depending on chemical composition of the raw materials in the mix.
