The foamconcrete (a
non-stem-cured one) is a
new building
material that is used
within the needs of housebuilding and industrial
construction.
A non-steam cured foamconcrete exceeds a steam
cured kind in many ways.
It does not need frying
ovens to be produced.
The factory can be
situated even on a
construction site.
However it does not yield
to a steam-cured one in
characteristics.
Foam concrete
Foam concrete is created by uniform
distribution of air bubbles throughout the
mass of concrete. Foam concrete is produced
by mechanical mixing of foam prepared in
advance with concrete mixture, and not with
the help of chemical reactions. Foam is
prepared in special device - foam generator
and after that mixing in special mixer.
(For example machine Foam-Prof consist
from special mixer and foam generator
mounting together).

Foam
Foam concrete is produced either
by :1) pre-foaming method
2) mixed foaming method
)Physical properties
1) Drying shrinkage
2) Air-void systems
3) Density
Mechanical properties
1) Compressive strength
2) Flexural and tensile strengths
3) Modulus of elasticity

Physical properties
Drying shrinkage
Foam concrete possesses high drying shrinkage due to the
absence of aggregates, i.e., up to 10 times greater than
those observed on normal weight concrete.
Autoclaving is reported to reduce the drying shrinkage
significantly by 1250% of that of moist-cured concrete due
to a change in mineralogical compositions.
The shrinkage of foam concrete reduces with densitywhich
is attributed to the lower paste content affecting the
shrinkage in low-density mixes.
Well-Bonded Body
Self Levelling
Foam concrete is naturally self-levelling and
self-compacting, filling the smallest voids,
cavities and seams within the pouring area.
In excavations with poor soils that cannot be
easily compacted, foam concrete forms a
100% compacted foundation over the soft
sub-soil. Compaction of conventional,
granular backfill against retaining structures
or deep foundations can cause damage or
movement to the adjacent structure. In these
situations, foam concrete with its reduced
lateral loading is a safe solution.

LWC CLASSIFICATION
USE OF LWC
Screeds and thickening for general purposes especially when such
screeds or thickening and weight to floors roofs and other
structural members.
Screeds and walls where timber has to be attached by nailing.
Casting structural steel to protect its against fire and corrosion or
as a covering for architectural purposes.
Heat insulation on roofs.
Insulating water pipes.
Construction of partition walls and panel walls in frame structures.
Fixing bricks to receive nails from joinery, principally in domestic
or domestic type construction.
General insulative walls.
Surface rendered for external walls of small houses.
It is also being used for reinforced concrete
