Preliminary Studies on the Development of Sustainable Lightweight Foamed Concrete Reinforced with Natural Fibres for Mechanical Properties Enhancement

Although foamed concrete was originally developed for void filling and insulation, today's society is gradually shifting its focus to structural qualities. The findings of an experimental investigation that was conducted to determine the impact of various densities and additives on the mechanic...

The findings of an experimental investigation that was conducted to determine the impact of various densities and additives on the mechanical properties of foamed concrete are presented in this paper.
