Foam Concrete And Its Advantages

Foamed concrete has the following self-properties:

High strength and low density

Foam concrete can be found in a variety of densities, ranging from 350 to 1400 kg/m3. Its compressive strengths are 0.2-18.0 N/mm2. Foam concrete has a low density and exerts some vertical pressure on the substructure. This is especially important for sensitive areas.

Fluidity: Self-leveling, self-compacting.

Foam concrete can be easily pumped through a hose at low pressures over long distances. Foam concrete is self-leveling, self-compacting, and fills in any voids or cavities. Concrete work in excavation areas requires that foam concrete meet every sub-grade contour.

Dependability

Foam concrete has a long life span and is as durable as rock.

Resistance to heat and cold

Foam concrete has a high efficiency isolating property. Foam concrete buildings can accumulate heat or cold, which reduces the need for heating or conditioning. It is ideal for countries with four seasons and especially those in areas of extreme cold or hot.

Acoustic-insulation

Foam concrete is highly acoustic absorbent.

Superior resistance to fire

Foam concrete, which is extremely flammable, is ideal for applications where fire risk is present.

There are many uses

Foam concrete can be used to create construction blocks and thermal insulation. Roof acoustics insulation can also serve as insulation.

Eco-compatibility

Foam concrete has no toxic chemicals and is very eco-friendly.

Foamed concrete offers many benefits in construction. These include operational and financial efficiencies.

Construction without settlement

Conforming to the principle equilibrium, the effective soil stress remains the same as it was before excavation. This prevents settlement.

Cost savings

Foam concrete saves money since it can directly be applied to existing marginal ground, such peat and other poor soils. It is possible to build earth retaining buildings with a lower cost by using minimal lateral load. Foam concrete is able to be constructed on marginal ground and reduces the need for pile foundations. The cost per unit of installed equipment is reduced when high volume equipment can be quickly installed. Foam concrete is more durable than other concretes and has fewer settlements. This makes it easier to maintain.

Time Saving

Foam concrete can save you time and be more efficient than traditional ground treatment methods. There is no need to wait for the sub soils and surcharging. The soil must be removed in order to make foam concrete. Reduce or eliminate the requirement for piling, draining sand, and grade beams.

Construction in a hurry

Foam concrete blocks can be lightweight and come in large sizes. They also have high precision dimensions. Foam concrete blocks can be used to speed up construction. It is also easy to cut holes and channels for wiring, sockets and pipes.
