Abstract

Foam Concrete is a type of versatile light weight concrete where the density varies from 400 kg/ m3 – 1900 kg/ m3, which is very less than when compared with normal concrete. Foam concrete mainly challenges the strength parameter, as the density of concrete is very less; hence the strength is also less. This study focuses to increase the strength parameter of Foam concrete by using HVFA mixes along with Alcofine to achieve the strength with low densities. It is found that when Alcofine is added along with HVFA mixes the strength increment is more as compared with HVFA mixes without Alcofine addition Keywords – HVFA – High Volume Flyash mix
