The paper reports a study, which was carried out to examine thermal and frost resistance properties of foamed concrete (FC) with porous aggregate (expanded glass (EG) granules and cenospheres). By adding lightweight and porous aggregate to the FC mixture, it is possible to improve important physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the prepared FC specimens. In the framework of this study the coefficient of thermal conductivity and frost resistance of hardened FC samples were determined. The structure of FC matrix and used aggregates were characterised by using a method of optical microscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
