Foam concrete is a versatile building material with a simple production method that is relatively inexpensive compared to autoclave aerated concrete. [1] Foam concrete compounds utilising fly ash in the slurry mix is cheaper still, and has less environmental impact. Foam concrete is produced in a variety of densities from 200 kg/m 3 to 1,600 kg ...
Autoclaved aerated concrete ( AAC) is a lightweight, precast, cellular concrete building material, eco-friendly, [ 1] suitable for producing concrete-like blocks. It is composed of quartz sand, calcined gypsum, lime, portland cement, water and aluminium powder. [ 2][ 3] AAC products are cured under heat and pressure in an autoclave.
A wave-dissipating concrete block is a naturally or manually interlocking concrete structure designed and employed to minimize the effects of wave action upon shores and shoreline structures, such as quays and jetties . One of the earliest designs is the Tetrapod, invented in 1950. Other proprietary designs include the Modified Cube (United ...
