foamed concrete is a concrete made by cement slurry mixed with foaming agent, so
that foamed concrete is lighter than conventional concrete. The objectives of this study is
to produce this kind of concrete, and to study some of its physical and mec
hanical
properties. Mix design of concrete was made for four required densities (1000,
1300,1600,1900 kg/m3), cement content of 350 kg/ m3, and water to cement ratio equal to
0.5. Different tests were performed to determine some properties of product concrete such
as density, compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. The results demonstrated the
possibility of production foamed concrete with wide range of density and strength. The
oven dry density of foamed concrete was in the range of (870-1773 kg/m3) , compressive
strength was in the range of (2.95-16.2 Mpa ), and the splitting strength was in the range
of (0.32-1.76Mpa).
