The Effect of Adding Fillers on The Mechanical Properties for Foam Concrete

Ahmed J. Mohammed^1* and Ibrahim K. Ibrahim²

Abstract

This research included the effect of fillings on the mechanical properties of lightweight concrete, as different percentages of the raw materials used in the production of this type of concrete were used. Several engineering and physical tests were conducted on lightweight concrete models in this research, where it was reached to produce light concrete with a compressive strength ranging between (1.18 – 1.5) Mpa, and the density was measured and the recorded values ranged between (718-818) kg/m3, and the water absorbency of the models was recorded, and the recorded values ranged between (26.7-56.6%)%. The research aims to produce lightweight concrete with good physic and mechanical properties that can be used in the manufacture of building units, with a focus on the economic aspect of producing this type of concrete from available materials and at the lowest possible cost.
