A Detailed Review on Foam Concrete Composites: Ingredients, Properties, and Microstructure

With the development of new cement-based raw materials, foaming agents and fillers used for special applications foam concrete, use concretes has become widespread. Foam concrete is a type that stands out with its lightness, waste potential, controlled low strength, thermal insulation, acoustics performance, durability. The knowledge base still developing this particular building material. This article describes in detail fresh, hardened, physical properties concrete. materials such as cement, aggregate, foam, fiber production are explained their effects on microstructure discussed. In addition, properties, fresh state consistency, stability, workability, drying shrinkage, air void system, water absorption, well strength durability emphasized. main findings presented study to show current level shortcomings, which needs more investigations. effect fibers characteristics acoustic characteristic seen topics be focused studies.
