Abstract—Foam concrete also known as lightweight cellular concrete, low density cellular concrete & other term is defined as a cement based slurry with a minimum of 20% (per volume) foam entrained into the plastic mortar. As mostly no coarse aggregate is used for production of foam concrete usually varies from 400kg/m3 to 1600kg/m3. The density is normally controlled by substituting full or part of fine aggregate with foam.
Light weight foam concrete enables to reduce the dead weight of the aggregate structure. The compressive strength of the light foam concrete varies from 6mpa to 14mpa. The property of foam concrete is to develop air bubbles with greater strength, through mixing of the material during weathering conditions at the time of placing and drying of foam concrete.
Foam con concrete has the potential to be a substitute for ordinary concrete as it reduces dead load on the structure and foundation contributes to energy conservation & reduces the cost of production & labor costs during construction & transportation. The paper reports a state-of-the-art review of foam concrete in terms of its components, preparation & material properties such as drying shrinkage, compressive strength & durability. This study may help ease consumer concerns & encourage further wide spread application of foam concrete in civil engineering.
