Influence of Foaming Agent on the Properties of High Density Foam Concrete

Abstract:

Lightweight concrete has been used for structural purposes for many years and it is developed very fast in resent years due to its lightweight and favourable for insulation properties. High strength foam concrete is a fairly new kind of lightweight concrete with excellent properties of outstanding workability, low density and high strength. Responsible for these properties are the macro-, meso- and micro- porosity of the foam concrete which are mainly affected by the foaming agent. The influence of foaming agent’s dilution ratio and foam dosage on the fluidity, compressive strength, flexural strength and drying shrinkage of high density foam concrete designed for structural materials is investigated in this paper.
