A Study on the Sound Absorption Properties of Foamed Concrete According to Dilution Ratio of Foaming Agent

기포제 희석비율에 따른 기포콘크리트의 흡음특성에 관한 연구

Sound absorbing performance is affected by porosity and continuity of void, therefore it is important to maintain stabilization of foam and to analyze properties of void pore in hardened state. The purpose of this study is to analyze the sound absorption properties and void characteristic of foamed concrete according to dilution ratio of foaming agent. The results of this experiment were as follows. It is determined that an increase in total and continuous void ratio is achieved by increasing of dilution ratio, and a shorter absorbing time was exhibited at a higher continuous void ratio. When the average void size of foamed concrete was below 1.5mm, the tendency of sound absorption coefficient compared with general sound absorber was appeared similarly.
