The purposes of this study is to secure subsidence stability and economical efficiency of lightweight foamed concrete. The composition of lightweight foamed concrete was designed for OPC by substituting with constant contents of calcium sulfaluminate and fly ash. It is found that the flow of lightweight foamed concrete decreased with early ettringite formation by CSA. The initial strength increased with the decrease of drying time of lightweight foamed concrete when CSA was substitution to 10%. The settlement deep of foamed concrete improved the settlement stability by replacing CSA, which prevented shortening of the coagulation time and bubble puffing.

In recent days, while taller and more massive structures such as huge bridges and super skyscrapers have been welcomed, the structural stabilization in design and construction have been gradually limited due to the major weakness of current concrete which is relatively heavier when compared with its strength. To improve the weakness of the current concrete, The lightweight concrete with light weight and high strength should be used; however, not many researchers in Korea have studied on the lightweight concrete. Generally, artificial lightweight aggregate produced through high-temperature-plasticization has a possibility of its body-expansion with many bubbles. Therefore, depending on the size of aggregate, the effects of bubbles on the specific weight and strength of the lightweight concrete should be studied. In this study, considering grain-size, the mix design of the artificial lightweight aggregate produced through the high-temperature-plasticization and the body-expansion of waste and clay from the fire power plant in Korea was conducted. The experiment to analyze the variation in specific weight and strength of the lightweight concrete was followed. From these experiments, the optimized grain-size ratio of the artificial lightweight aggregate for the enhancement of high-strength from the lightweight concrete was revealed.

This study is to develop a high quality lightweight foamed concrete that can be applied in the field using EXFG by cracking reducing agent combined with FGD and ALS. First, to increase the volume of foam, the flow and density of the mixture was increased and decreased, respectively. At this time, the effect of substitution ratio of EXFG on fluidity was negligible. The fraction of foam was the highest at EXFG 1%, and the settlement was found to be prevented by the expansion reaction at EXFG 1%. At this time, the ratio of foam was 65%. In the compressive strength, the strengths were similar or decreased when the substitution ratio of EXFG was more than 1%. The apparent density satisfied the KS 0.5 type at the bubble contents was 65%. In case of EXFG substitution, dry shrinkage was decreased by about 10%. As the substitution ratio of EXFG increased, the thermal conductivity increased proportionally.

On this study, the concrete foaming was maximized using Hydrogen peroxide($H_2O_2$) reciprocal decomposition catalyzed by Manganese dioxide($MnO_2$) and Sodium bicarbonate($NaHCO_3$). Also, we study the physical and mechanical properties of lightweight formed concrete through diverse experiment which is to determine the optimal mixing proportion and require strength of the lightweight formed concrete. As a result of an experiment, it is satisefied with overall quality standard on the KS F 4039 and KS F 2459 provision.

The present feasible tests are to develop the lightweight concrete using bottom ash aggregates and performed air foam for applying to sustainable high-insulation panel. The main variables investigated are water-to-binder, foam volume ratio, and curing conditions. Test results showed that the lightweight concrete possessed the compressive strength of 5~9 MPa at the air dry density of 951~1,139 kg/m3.

High-rise building in modern society is becoming increasingly necessary to reduce the weight of the building. Accordingly, increased use of lightweight bubble concrete is a trend Porous ceramics (ALC) is the most common, lightweight bubble concrete. And it is by lightweight blocks the same used as building materials. This research is related to the physical characteristics of ALC controlled by particle size and contents of raw materials.

The eight mixes and artificial soil aggregates were prepared for evaluating the practical application of lightweight foamed concrete as soil aggregates. The main parameter was unit binder content ranged between from 100 to $800kg/m^3$. In lightweight foamed concrete, flow, slurry and dried density, and compressive strength at different ages were measured. In Artificial soil aggregates crushed from lightweight foamed concrete, particle size distribution, pH, coefficient of permeability, cation exchange capacity(CEC), and ratio of carbon to nitrogen(ratio of C/N), were measured. The test results showed that flow, slurry and dried density, and compressive strength at different ages of lightweight foamed concrete increased with the increasing of unit binder content. Compressive strength at age of 28, of lightweight foamed concrete with unit binder of more than $500kg/m^3$, was more than 4 MPa. The ammonium phosphate immersion time of more than age of 3, was effective to decrease pH of artificial soil aggregates. In addition, artificial soil aggregates was evaluated as high class in terms of cation exchange capacity(CEC), while satisfied with value of ratio of carbon to nitrogen(ratio of C/N) recommended by landscape specification.
