Foam concrete

Abstract

Today, energy takes the lead in topics that matter the most for all countries. The ever-increasing world population together with growing industry has given way to an unstoppable energy consumption. Some countries have already started working towards saving energy due to reasons such as increasing environmental pollution, fast consumption of existing energy resources and high cost of energy production. Nowadays, to achieve desired benefits by consuming less energy has brought about the issue of insulation and therefore increased the importance given to insulation. In this study, by adding foam (water+foam agent+air) that will be prepared in foam generator into the slurries (cement, water, silica fume, calcite and plasticizer mixture), foam concrete with improved insulation performance has been produced. Bulk density of foam concrete is obtained to be 250 kg/m3 and its heat conductivity to be 0,075 W/mK. The compressive strength of foam concrete is found to be 0,75 MPa.
