Description
Summary:Concrete is a building material that cannot be avoided in the construction business. Massive constructions need a significant volume of concrete and substantial foundations. By substituting normal-weight concrete with light, durable, environmentally friendly, and sustainable concrete, the structure’s self-weight may be reduced. Foam concrete is a material that can meet all of the following criteria. Cement, fly ash, and foaming agent are all ingredients in foamed concrete, which is a cement-based slurry that has been physically blended with a stable and uniform foam. This research investigates the target densities of foamed concrete (FC). The purpose of this investigation is to assess foamed concrete of low and medium densities.
