Cellular Concrete
Lightweight cellular (foamed) concrete is
made by mixing pre-formed stable foam and cement-based slurry. Due to its
lightweight, high quality and availability has increased usage of this concrete
compared to traditional concrete.
Specially formulated cellular
concrete has an excellent property of self-compacting therefore no compaction
is required. It steadily flows out of a pump outlet to fill the mould because
of this it can be pumped over major height and distances.
Types
of Cellular Concrete based on Density
Ø High Density Cellular Concrete
This is a structural grade concrete having
the density ranging from 1200kg/m3 to 1800 kg/m3. It is used in the
construction of load-bearing walls, partition walls and in the production of
pre-cast blocks for load-bearing brickwork.
Ø Medium Density Cellular Concrete
The density range of this cellular concrete
is 800-1000 kg/m3. This uses in pre-cast blocks industryfor non-load-bearing
brickwork.
Ø Light Density Cellular Concrete
Light density cellular concrete has a
density in the range of 400 –600 kg/m3. This has a good quality against thermal
and sound insulations. It provides resistance against fire accidents, termite
and moisture absorbent.
Advantages
of Cellular Concrete
Ø Lightweight
Ø Fire resistance
Ø Thermal Insulation
Ø Acoustical Insulation
Ø Environmental Friendly
Ø Cost-Efficient
Ø Cellular light-weight concrete is also termite-proof and resistant
towards freezing issues
Application
of Cellular Concrete
Ø Cellular lightweight concrete is utilized as thermal insulation in
the form of bricks and blocks over flat roofs or non-loading walls.
Ø Utilized in production of heat-insulated light wall panel.
Ø Uses in cement and plaster based light plate.
Ø Utilized in Special of light heat-resistant ceramic tiles.
Ø To prevent freezing in bridge construction, cellular concrete is
used.
Ø It is used in drainage system to avoid soil water.
