A Review on Durability of Foam Concrete

Foam concrete is a promising material in building and construction applications, providing such outstanding properties as high specific strength, excellent thermal insulation, effective acoustic absorption human-inhabited buildings. However, because the porosity permeable water of foam are significantly higher, its durability often not comparable to that ordinary concrete, so requires significant attention during life cycle applications. Durable materials can greatly reduce environmental impact waste from maintenance replacement consumption natural resources resulting production repair materials. After hardening, includes freeze-thaw resistance, elevated temperature carbonation efflorescence sulfate chloride alkali-silica reaction, on.
