Abstract
Due to the wide application of lightweight concretes, there have been a lot of research activities in this field. The objectives of these activities have been mainly to increase the strength and endurance, and to reduce the weight and the cost of production of such concretes.
Lightweight concretes, in general, have the following advantages: relatively high strength to density ratio, high thermal and acoustic insulation, and fire resistance. However, foam concretes, as a particular type of lightweight concretes, compared with other types, has the advantage of ease of production. Therefore, in this work various aspects of foam concretes were studied. In this project, using a particular...
