Abstract
ALC(Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete) is produced using quartz sand, lime and cement and water. And aluminum powder is used for blowing agent. ALC is manufactured by autoclave chamber under high-temperature and high-pressure. Generally, ALC is 1/4 levels lighter than concrete and mortar, because it has a lot of pores. So density of ALC is about 0.45~0.65 g/$cm^3$. But, ALC has a weakness, typically low strength, with its porous structure. So, it is necessary to excellent strength properties for extensive apply of ALC materials in high porosity. In this study, melamine resin was used to improve the strength characteristics of ALC materials. We performed compressive and bending strength measurements. Compressive strength of ALC with 2% melamine resin increased 26.88% than 'melamine-free' ALC. Also we performed functionality evaluation such as thermal conductivity, sound absorption, and flame-resistance.
