Statistical mixture design for carbide residue activated blast furnace slag foamed lightweight concrete

Carbide residue activated blast furnace slag is a relatively new kind of eco-friendly construction materials. This work addresses the design foamed lightweight concrete as road embankment material using such material. A statistical mixture approach was adopted to assess influence each ingredient well interaction between these on spreadability and compressive strength thus allowing design. The fitted models were validated analysis variance, residual confirmed by experiments. Afterwards, proposed used optimize mixture. with highest maximum content carbide that allows meet required properties obtained, respectively.
