The Effect of Fly Ash and Red Mud Content on the Compressive Strength of Foam Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

A series of foam concrete with different content of fly ash or red mud were experimentally investigated in this study. The results indicated that the water-solids ratio of optimized material proportion and curing conditions were 0.5, and the compressive strength and density of the concrete compressive would fall with the addition of fly ash or red mud.
