Abstract:
Aerated concrete is a lightweight, cellular material consisting of cement or lime and sand or other silicious material. It is made by either a physical or a chemical process during which either air or gas is introduced into a slurry, which generally contains no coarse material. Usual methods of aeration are by mixing in stabilized foam or by whipping air in with the aid of an air entraining agent. Aerated concrete has many advantages when compared with conventional concrete such as reduced dead load, lower coefficient of thermal expansion, good sound insulation as a result of air voids with in aerated concrete. In this study aluminium powder is used as the air entraining agent. This study aims to develop an aerated concrete with partial replacement of cement with fly ash and fine aggregate with rubber powder. Rubber powder used for this study is made from used tyres of vehicles. The work also includes the evaluation of mechanical properties of aerated concrete.
