Foam concrete is a vast majority of concrete containing no large aggregates, only fine sand and with extremely lightweight materials containing cement, water and foam. It can be considered relatively homogeneous when compared to normal concrete, as it does not contain coarse aggregate phase. However, the properties of foamed concrete depend on the microstructure and composition, which are influenced by the type of binder used, methods of pre-formation and curing. The main advantage of foam concrete is its lightweight, which ensures economy of walls of the lower floors and foundations. It has several advantages and since it is porous in nature, it provides thermal insulation and considerable savings in the material. The important applications of foamed concrete include structural elements, non-structural partitions and thermal insulating materials. Manufacturers developed foam concretes of different densities to suit the above requirements and these products were used in trench reinstatement, bridge abutment, void filling, roof insulation, road sub base, wall construction, tunneling etc.
