SUMMARY
This research work includes three main experimental stages. The first stage includes the production of foamed concrete. It is divided into two parts; in the first, mixing design (determination of the proportions of the raw materials) according to the required density was presented and in the second part, the mixing procedure has been illustrated.
The second stage includes preparation of samples,(i.e. molding, finishing surface, removal from molds and curing). The third stage includes several tests to estimate properties of the final product and factors influencing them . These properties include density , compressive strength , splitting tensile strength and flexural strength.
For foamed concrete with 800 kg/m3 density, the 28-day compressive strength is from (1.334 MPa) to (2.323 MPa), while with 1600 kg/m3 density, the strength is from (7.015 MPa) to (9.591 MPa).
For 1600 kg/m3 density foamed concrete, the 28-day flexural strength range is from (1.08 MPa) to (2.205 MPa).
