TL;DR: In this paper, a green foamed concrete based on river sediment-metakaolin blends was proposed. But the results showed that the results were not as good as the results obtained for the traditional Portland concrete with a similar density.

TL;DR: In this article, a green lightweight foamed geopolymer concretes (LFGC) aerated using hydrogen peroxide based on fly ash, metakaolin and expanded polystyrene (EPS) particles was developed for thermal insulation materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of temperature and EPS volume fraction on the thermal conductivity and dry density of expanded polystyrene foamed concrete (EFC) was analyzed at different environment temperatures (from −10 to 40°C).

TL;DR: In this paper, a lightweight thermal insulation mortar with function of improved thermal characteristics using glazed hollow beads and micro-encapsulated phase change materials (PCM) was designed using various experimental methods to investigate the effect on physical, mechanical, thermal characteristics and air void distribution of different compositions and mix.

TL;DR: In this article, a green geopolymer foam concrete with high strength, light weight and good thermal insulation property is obtained, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: uniformly stirring and mixing the fly ash, metakaolin, sodium hydroxide, water glass, water, a foaming agent, a foam stabilizer and lightweight aggregate.
