Other Materials and Aggregates for Foam Concrete

The coarse aggregate or other replacement for coarse cannot be used. This is because these materials would sink into the lightweight foam. Mix Details of Foam Concrete: The foam concrete properties depend upon the following factors: The volume of the foam, The cement content in the mix, The filler material, and The age. The water-cement ratio has very little influence on the properties of the foam concrete, unlike foam and cement content. Properties of Foam Concrete: The foam concrete properties in its fresh and hardened state are explained below; Visual Appearance of foam Concrete: The exact comparison for the foam manufactured to produce foam concrete resembles the shaving foam. When mixed with the standard specification mortar, the final mix will resemble the consistency of yogurt or in the form of a milkshake. Fresh Properties of Foam Concrete: The workability of foamed concrete is very high and has a slump value of 150mm to collapse. These have a strong plasticizing effect. This property of foam concrete makes it highly demanded in most applications. Once the flow of the mix has remained static for a longer period, it is very difficult to restart its original state. Foam concrete in the fresh state is thixotropic. The chances of bleeding in foamed concrete are reduced due to high air content. When the mix temperature increases, good filling and contact are carried out due to the expansion of air. If the amount of sand used is higher or coarse aggregates are used other than the standard specifications, there are chances for segregation. This can also collapse the bubble, reducing the total volume and the foam structure.
