ALSO KNOWN AS :

FOAM CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY

AERATED LIGHTWEIGHT
CONCRETE
 What is Lightweight
Concrete Method?
It Is a lightweight concrete made with a
combination of cement, water , sand and
foam.

Densities of this concrete range from 250

kg / m3 to 1,800 kg / m3.

Normal concrete has a Density of a

approximately 2,400 kg / m3.
 FOAM is made with
nutrients to entrapped air

 A foam generator is
require to make foam.

 Densities of lightweight
concrete is determine by
the amount of foam and
cement combinations.
Rapid and Economical
production
 Hundreds of m3 can be
produce daily by using
ready-mix trucks easily
available.
 Ease of placement due
to its rapid flowing and
lightness
 No compaction is
needed and it is self-
leveling.
 Type of mixer suitable for
production of foam concrete

 Thermal insulation
 Thermal insulation
 Foam concrete with a density of 1200 kg/m3, for instance,
can produce a monolithic wall 5 times thinner and require
10 times lesser raw material (by weight) and possesses 5
times superior insulation properties compared to that of
conventional concrete. The amplitude-ratio and phase-
displacement of a 15 cm thick wall with a density of 1100
kg/m3 causes the outside temperature of a building to take
between 10-12 hours to reach inside. Such a duration,
which is much longer than that of conventional concrete
wall, results in the foam concrete being naturally air-
conditioning.

 Fire Rating
 Fire rating
 In 1100 kg/m3 density
LCM, a 13 to 14 cm
thick wall has a fire
endurance of 5 hours.
The same degree of
endurance is achievable
with a 400 kg/m3
density LCM of only l0
cm thick. LCM is non-
combustible and the air-
embedded in LCM
attributes to the high
fire-rating.
