Abstract :

An application of aerated concret (foam concrete) was experimentally studied. In this study the compressive strength of the proposed concrete was measured the effect of parameters such as aggregate size of broken stone, quantity of cement and various densities were exprementally studies, and the best mixture was select.These prepared mixtures are practically useful to optimize the consumption of cement and superior strength in every dry density in nonstructural application.The compressive strength wes varied from 18.19 kg/cm 2 to 97.20 kg/ cm2 for 100 to 1200 kg/ m3 of dry densities during 28 days test. The result of this study showed that the strength capability if proposed mixture increased. The information given in this project can be taken into consider while building nonstructural pieces such as wall blocks and roofs in order to decrease the dead load of building.
