Influence of Foam Densities in Cellular Lightweight Concrete
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Foam concrete is a type of aerated light weight concrete. It does not contain any coarse aggregate and it also requires no compaction. This paper explains about the influence of density of foam which leads to variation in strength of the concrete. Foam is produced by using foam generator and mixed with the base mix. The density of foam in the base mix can be controlled by adjusting the revolutions of It the mixer. The main aim of foam is to create the stable air voids in the slurry. This leads to the reduction in weight of the concrete. can also be regarded as the aerated mortar because of absence of coarse aggregate. Here, fly ash is used as a full replacement of fine aggregate. Generally, the foam concrete densities may vary between 400kg/m3 to 1850kg/m3. But the densities below 1000kg/m3 may not produce comparatively sufficient strength. Hence this paper deals with the densities of 1200kg/m3 and 1500kg/m3.The focus of this project is to study the physical and mechanical properties of foam concrete with the fly ash as full replacement of fine aggregate. In this paper 4 cubes, 3 cylinders and 1 beam are casted for each density and the results are computed.
