Physical and Functional Characteristics of Foam Concrete: A Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report an in-depth review of foam concrete in terms of its components, fresh state and physical properties like consistency, stability, workability, drying shrinkage, air-void system and water absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compressive and flexural strength of fiber-reinforced foamed concrete: Effect of fiber content, curing conditions and dry density
TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive experimental campaign was carried out to investigate the mechanical strength of fiber-reinforced lightweight foamed concrete, which was prepared with a viscosity enhancing agent that increases the cohesion and consistency of the cement paste at the fresh state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of fly ash and silica fume on hardened properties of foam concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of foam content as well as fly ash and silica fume inclusion on some physical and mechanical properties of foam concrete, subjected to various curing regimes, were researched.

Cellular concrete review: New trends for application in construction
Lina Chica,Albert Alzate +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a complete review with the main aspects that influence the application of cellular concrete: raw materials, production methods and expected properties based on density, showing how the use of new and alternative raw materials for cellular concrete could permit modifications on the physical and mechanical properties for construction applications.

Effects of foaming agent type on the workability, drying shrinkage, frost resistance and pore distribution of foamed concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the foaming agent type on the properties of foamed concrete, synthetic surfactants (SS), plant surfactant (PS), and animal glue/blood-based foaming agents (AS) were investigated.

A classification of studies on properties of foam concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the authors classify literature on foam concrete in terms of constituent materials (foaming agent, cement and other fillers used), mix proportioning, production methods, fresh and hardened properties of foam concrete.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air‐void characterisation of foam concrete
TL;DR: The pore structure of cementitious material, predetermined by its porosity, permeability and pore size distribution, is a very important characteristic as it influence the properties of the material such as strength and durability as mentioned in this paper.

Preliminary views on the potential of foamed concrete as a structural material
M. R. Jones,A. McCarthy +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a laboratory study of the development of foamed concrete, utilising two types of fly ash, with the potential for use in structural applications, was described, where fine fly ash (i.e. to BS EN 450) was used to partially replace Portland cement and coarse fly ash to replace sand fine aggregate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of porosity on the strength of foamed concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between porosity and compressive strength and presented mathematical models that have been developed to describe this relationship and concluded that the equation derived by Hoff could effectively be used to predict the compressive strengths of foamed concrete mixtures containing high percentages of ash.

The effect of high fly ash content on the compressive strength of foamed concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the compressive strength of concretes cured under sealed conditions was investigated and it was shown that up to 67% of the concrete could be replaced without any significant reductions in strength.
