Abstract |
|
Foam concrete is a type of aerated lightweight concrete. Foam concrete does not contain any coarse aggregate. It requires no compaction, but it will flow readily from an outlet to fill restricted and irregular cavities. Foamed concrete is simple to produce but, at present, there is a need to provide close control during its production and on-site supervision during its placement and curing. Lightweight foamed concrete is use in low strength capacity for building and civil construction purposes as a result of its peculiar features such as low thermal conductivity, low self-weight and self-compacting features hence its high workability. This paper is attention to classified of aerated lightweight concrete into foamed concrete and non-autoclaved concrete. |
