Comparative Study of the Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Foamed Concrete with Local Materials

Living in a habitat with comfort is requested by all. Cinder block bricks have poor thermal properties, leading people to use fan heaters and air conditioners regain comfort. To overcome this problem of discomfort buildings, we used lightweight concrete such as foamed which material that has improved properties for In addition, was compared local materials the construction buildings BTC, adobe BLT mixed binders. The results showed good mechanical having acceptable thermo-mechanical density 930 kg/m3. It resistance 0.4 m2·K/W thickness 20 cm. For sunshine on daily cycle equal 12 hours, characteristic achieved 7.29 also shallow depth heat diffusion lower than other materials. This shows promising buildings.
