Testing of Technological Properties of Foam Concrete

Abstract:

At present the demand for thermal insulation materials is bigger than ever before. Also cement foam or foamconcrete, the mixture of cement mortar and technical foam can be one of such materials. Due to its liquid consistency this material can be simply applied in fresh status on uneven board surfaces where application of common thermal insulating materials would be very complex and time consuming.This work is involved in use of fly ash in foamconcrete and polystyrene-concrete compositions; these are very lightweight concretes produced from fine-grained cement mortars by its foaming using foamable admixtures. The objective of this work is to verify whether final physical and mechanical properties are improved when fly ash is applied within the mixture, in particular, the compressive strength thermal coefficient and stability after 12 hours from mixing.
