Studies on assessment of suitability of typical synthetic surfactants and additive for use in foam concrete production

Abstract

Foam concrete which is classified as light weight concrete is basically a cement paste or mortar with air voids entrapped by suitable foaming agent Review of literature highlighted that although there have been several investigations reported on properties of foam concrete to date only scarce literature is available on evaluation and improvement of characteristics of foam for use in foam concrete Hence motivated by the arduous requirement for more studies on surfactant an in depth study on e...
