Lightweight foamed concrete is a concrete which is lighter than conventional concree by mixing ptetoamed foam in cement slurry. The objectives of this study are to develop optimal prefoarneti lightweight foamed concrete with high lightness. high flowability and enough strength fol special use of structural application by using the polymer foam agent. By mixing the admixtures such as silica-fume and fly-ash and the industrial by-product such as styrofoam for the purpose of practical use of industrial waste, lightweight foamed concrete shich has better lightness. flowability and strength than the conventional prefoamed lightweight foamed concrete is developed. This paper presents extensive data on characteristics of compressive strength and flowability of the concrete manufactured with the different factors in mix design and also presents optimum mix proportion.

경량기포콘크리트란 시멘트슬러리 속에 미리 생성된 기포를 혼합시켜 양생시킴으써 동일한 체적의 보통콘크리트보다 가볍게 만든 콘크리트를 의미한다. 따라서 경량기포콘크리트는시멘트풀 결합재내에 기포가 무작위로 분포된 복합재료이다. 본 연구의 목적은 이러한경량기포콘크리트의 탄성계수 추정식을 미시역학적 이론을 바탕으로 추정하는데 있다. 이르 위해 본 논문에서는 미시역학적인 미분법에 Hansen의 수정기법을 적용한 수정미분법을 사용하여 경량기포콘크리트의 탄성계수 추정식을 제안하였다. 제안된 추정식을 사용하여 얻어진 결과는 실험결과와 잘 일치하였고 기존의 어떤 추정식보다도 우수한 결과를 보였다.

Foamed concrete for cast-in-site, which shows excellent lightweight, thermal insulation, noise insulation, constructability and cost efficiency, has been applied as thermal insulation or filling material for On-dol. However, the technology is too insufficient to obtain the high level of quality, and serious problems often occur in quality control at sites. It, thus, is necessary to establish the proper and reasonable quality control method for ensuring the required quality, based on the investigation on the physical properties and their reciprocal relation. This study aims to settle the quality control method in case of applying FA foamed concrete replacing 40% by weight with fly-ash as the filling material for On-dol. The results of the study include the correlation among flow, as-placed density and foam ratio of fresh foamed concrete, the correlation between physical properties before hardening and after 28-day, provision of an equation to estimate 28-day compressive strength early with 7-day compressive strength, and suggestion of quality criteria for the revision of KS on foamed concrete for cast-in-site.

본 연구는 폐수처리공정에서 경량기포콘크리트를 이용하여 폐수 중에 존재하는 음이온계면 활성제와 총인 그리고 총질소성분을 제거하기 위하여 실시되었다. 경량기포콘크리트는 폐수 처리공정에서 반응기에 충진하여 사용하였으며, 이때 사용된 폐수는 인공폐수(음이온계면활성제 : 10-31 mg/L, 총인 : 66-73 mg/L 그리고 총질소 : 56-163 mg/L)를 사용하였다. 실험결과 경량기포콘크리트를 사용하여 폐수를 처리한 결과 음이온계면활성제의 85-95 %, 총인성분의 92 %, 그리고 총질소 성분의 90 % 정도가 제거되었다.

The objective of this study is to obtain the mechanical characteristics of prefoarmed lightweight foamed concrete using the polymer ham agent which has high lightness. flowability and strength. For this purpose, the prefoarmed lightweight foamed concrete which was developed to have flow value over 180mm. unit weight between 0.38t/$m^3$ and 0.64t/$m^3$, and compressive strength about 30kg/$cm^2$ was used. This paper presents extensive test data on Young's modulus. Poisson's ratio, stress-strain curve, the characteristics of strength of the foamed concrete and also presents the mechanical characteristics of the foamed concrete with different foam sizes. It is expected that this study provides an importance guide to design and manufacture lightweight foam concrete, so that it helps to expand its structural use.

The aim of the research is to provide possibility of quality controlling by rheological properties for lightweight foamed concrete. The lightweight foamed concrete achieves its low density by containing air bubbles (foam) produced during the mixing process. Therefore, containing foamed volume during setting period is critical for the securing the performance as an insulating material. In this research, regarding foam collapse during the setting period, rheolgocial properties of fresh state lightweight foamed concrete were assessed to get its relationship with volume stability, or foam stability. For the experiment regarding foaming factors including mixing time, mix design of contents for materials, rheological properties of fresh state lightweight foamed concrete were tested with its density and settling depth. Based on the settling depth with various factors, relationship with rheological properties was analyzed, and especially, close relationship of plastic viscosity and settling depth was found. Therefore, from the results of this research, it is considered to contribute on suggesting a new approach of quality controlling for lightweight foamed concrete using rheological test method.

Recently, the use of lightweight panels in building structures has been increasing. Of the various lightweight panel types, styrofoam sandwich panels are inexpensive and are excellent in terms of their insulation capacity and their constructability. However, sandwich panels that include organic material are quite vulnerable to fire, and thus can numerous casualties in the event of a fire due to the lack of time to vacate and their emission of poisonous gas. On the other hand, lightweight foamed concrete is excellent, both in terms of its insulation ability and its fire resistance, due to its Inner pores. The properties of lightweight concrete is influenced by foaming agent type. Accordingly, this study investigates the insulation properties by foaming agent type, to evaluate the possibility of using light-weight foamed concrete instead of styrene foam. Our research found thatnon-heating zone temperature of lightweight foamed concrete using AP (Aluminum Powder) and FP (animal protein foaming agent) are lower than that of light-weight foamed concrete using AES (alkyl ether lactic acid ester). Lightweight foamed concrete using AES and FP satisfied fire performance requirements of two hours at a foam ratio 50, 100. Lightweight foamed concrete using AP satisfied fire performance requirements of two hours at AP ratio 0.1, 0.15. The insulation properties were better in closed pore foamed concrete by made AP, FP than with open pore foamed concrete made using AES.

Shrinkage may cause cracking in concrete. In practice such cracking must be considered in most concrete applications because, under normal conditions, drying of the concrete is unavoidable, and when drying takes place shrinkage occurs. Cracked concrete is an inferior concrete because it is weaker, more permeable, and more susceptible to chemical attack. The development of the strength of LAC with aging depends on a few factors such as type of the cement, W/C ratio, curing conditions and periods. The higher the strength of LAC, the lower the possibility of shrinkage cracking. Hence, the strength of LAC in the hypocaust system depends to a large extent on the effect of cracking decrease of the antifoaming rate to drying shrinkage in cement.
