This study investigates the size effect on the compressive strength of foamed concrete at the
mesoscale level combining X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) and a discrete lattice model …

Circulating fluidized bed fly ash (CFBFA) is a by-product from the combustion in circulating
fluidized bed boiler in power plants. Herein, to resourcefully utilize CFBFA and reduce …

This paper presents a novel type of foamed concrete that is termed “3D-printable lightweight
foamed concrete”(3DP-LWFC). Unlike classical lightweight foamed concrete (C-LWFC), this …

Foamed concrete is widely used as a highly energy-efficient building material. However, low-
density foamed concrete requires increased amounts of Portland cement or steam curing to …

Foamed concrete, classified as lightweight concrete, has been commonly used in
construction applications for saving energy and reducing production transportation and …

This paper aims to investigate the feasibility of the incorporation of nanosilica (NS) in ultra-
lightweight foamed concrete (ULFC), with an oven-dry density of 350 kg/m3, in regard to its …

Globally, coal mining wastes (CMWs) are associated with significant environmental and
economic costs. Processing CMW into an ingredient of foam concrete is a promising solution …

Fracture behavior is an important issue that should be taken into account in analysis and
design of important concrete structures such as nuclear power plants. The fracture behavior …

This work presents a study of mechanical properties of foamed concrete at the meso-scale
based on a combination of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) technique and a discrete …

The high water absorption (Wv) of FC, especially ultra-light FC (ULFC), tends to increase the
structure burden, reduce the strength, reduce the thermal and sound insulation performance …
