Properties and applications of foamed concrete; a review

Compressive and flexural strength of fiber-reinforced foamed concrete: Effect of fiber content, curing conditions and dry density

Effects of foaming agent type on the workability, drying shrinkage, frost resistance and pore distribution of foamed concrete

Foamed concrete (FC) is a high-quality building material with densities from 300 to 1850 kg/m3, which can have potential use in civil engineering, both as insulation from heat and sound, and for load-bearing structures. However, due to the nature of the cement material and its high porosity, FC is very weak in withstanding tensile loads; therefore, it often cracks in a plastic state, during shrinkage while drying, and also in a solid state. This paper is the first comprehensive review of the use of man-made and natural fibres to produce fibre-reinforced foamed concrete (FRFC). For this purpose, various foaming agents, fibres and other components that can serve as a basis for FRFC are reviewed and discussed in detail. Several factors have been found to affect the mechanical properties of FRFC, namely: fresh and hardened densities, particle size distribution, percentage of pozzolanic material used and volume of chemical foam agent. It was found that the rheological properties of the FRFC mix are influenced by the properties of both fibres and foam; therefore, it is necessary to apply an additional dosage of a foam agent to enhance the adhesion and cohesion between the foam agent and the cementitious filler in comparison with materials without fibres. Various types of fibres allow the reduction of by autogenous shrinkage a factor of 1.2-1.8 and drying shrinkage by a factor of 1.3-1.8. Incorporation of fibres leads to only a slight increase in the compressive strength of foamed concrete; however, it can significantly improve the flexural strength (up to 4 times), tensile strength (up to 3 times) and impact strength (up to 6 times). At the same time, the addition of fibres leads to practically no change in the heat and sound insulation characteristics of foamed concrete and this is basically depended on the type of fibres used such as Nylon and aramid fibres. Thus, FRFC having the presented set of properties has applications in various areas of construction, both in the construction of load-bearing and enclosing structures.

Fibre-Reinforced Foamed Concretes: A Review.

This paper presents an investigation on lightweight foamed concrete (LFC) with different type of additives. LFC with 600, 1000 and 1400 kg/m3 density were cast and tested. Fly ash, lime and polypropylene fibre were used on each density with different percentages. All the additives effects were compared with normal LFC as control mix. Mechanical properties of LFC were evaluated with several tests up to 180 days. The results show that the drying shrinkage, compressive strength and flexural strength are affected by the hydration process of each additive in the harden LFC. Fly ash as pozzolanic material helps to strengthen the LFC, though it needs longer curing period to achieve ultimate strength. Lime gives slight contribution to strength as detail investigation on microstructure formation will give clear answer on how the mechanical properties were affected. The addition of polypropylene contributes to flexural strength and shrinkage of LFC. Polypropylene fibre only contributes to compressive strength at low LFC density.

Effects of Various Additives on Drying Shrinkage, Compressive and Flexural Strength of Lightweight Foamed Concrete (LFC)

Oil Palm Shell (OPS) are one of low thermal conductivity course aggregate for lightweight concrete. This paper report on all thermal properties parameter, thermal conductivity, specific heat and thermal diffusivity. Tree mixes of OPS of air dry density 1733 to 1811 kg/m3 and oven dry density 1502 to 1632 kg/m3 were prepaid and tested for thermal properties and compared with normal concrete using crushed granite as control and conventional materials. Raw shape with air density 1733 kg/m3 showed the lowest thermal properties with thermal conductivity, specific heat and thermal diffusivity of 0.59 W/mK, 1.352 MJ/m3K and 0.4414 mm2/s, respectively. All OPS mix can be consider as semi structure insulation material as per the RILEM classification which is thermal conductivity lower than 0.75 W/mK. High porosity content in concrete created act as an insulation characteristic and showed OPS have good potential as green insulation materials.

The Effects of Oil Palm Shell Aggregate Shape on the Thermal Properties and Density of Concrete

The present study covers the use of fibre in lightweight foamed concrete (LFC) to produce the lightweight concrete for use in construction of non-load bearing elements. LFC with 600, 1000 and 1400 kg/m3 density were cast and tested. Polypropylene fibres with different percentage were used into LFC and the resulting products were compared to normal LFC. Compressive strength, flexural strength and drying shrinkage tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties up to 180 days. The addition of fibres in LFC showed no contribution on compressive strength but improvement in the flexural and shrinkage test results.
