A study on the mix proportion of foamed concrete to early compressive strength development and tensile strength development / Nor Maslina Mohsan, Khalimi Johan Abd Hamid and Nurul Huda Suliman

Foamed concrete is cement-based slurry that is mechanically blended to form stable and homogeneous foam. The process can be either by mixing or by injecting. The compressive strength of foamed concrete is a function of density depends on many factors such as sand/cement ratios, water/cement ratios,...

The compressive strength of foamed concrete is a function of density depends on many factors such as sand/cement ratios, water/cement ratios, curing conditions and particle size distribution of sand.

The effect of mix proportions of cement-sand ratio showed significant early compressive strength increases with increase in cement content.
