Abstract:
Foam concrete is a new covering layer that can be used for several purposes in civil constructions and because of its unique physical specifications, produces a light concrete in which is isolated against thermal conductivity ,with required strength and favorite quality.This cover is made of cement , sand ,water and foam(chemical substance that produces foam) . The foam is mixed with water in a special machine (mixer) with a high speed centrifugal rotation and produces very small stable bubbles called foam. While cement and sand are mixed in special mixer, makes a fluent concrete that can be used in place, metallic or plastic molds. After dehydration, in accordance with percentage of cement and sand , has a density between 300 to 1600 kilograms per cubic meter.
