The titled high performance foamed concrete was developed from Portland cement, ultra fine granulated blast-furnace slag, pulverized fly ash and condensed silica fume by means of pre-foaming process. The resultant foamed concrete presents its thermal conductivity of about 0.16-0.75 W/(m ℃) and 28 d compressive strength of about 1.1-23.7 MPa when its mix proportion varies in the range of cement content 280 kg-650 kg/m 3 , fl y ash 42-97 kg/m 3 , slag 64-146 kg/m 3 , silica fume 34-78 kg/m 3 , and sand 0-920 kg/m 3 . The compressive strength of the foamed concrete with oven dried bulk density of 1500 kg/m 3 in appropriate mix proportion and with small amount of superplasticizer reached as high as 44.1 MPa. Meanwhile, the fresh foamed concrete behaves like an excellent fl ow-ability, therefore, is especially suitable for the application in case of massive foamed concrete casting in situ and in the case of fi lling casting into large volume underground irregular voids, except for pre-casting of building components like blocks, bricks, and wall panels.PAN Zhihua(潘志华): Prof.; Ph D;
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.
