Abstract

Aerated concrete blocks are made according to the design proportions in this project. Cement, fine particles, a foaming agent, and water are the ingredients of foam concrete. Sand prices are significantly rising these days. We may lower the cost of sand by replacing it with a replacement material. In the current investigation, sand is partially substituted by varying weights and quantities of blast furnace slag, fly ash, and glass powder. To gain a better understanding of the utilization of blast furnace slag, Fly Ash, and glass powder in various literatures, their impact on Compressive Strength foam concrete is explored.

Keywords

Foam concrete, Light weight, Blast furnace slag, Fly ash, Glass powder, Compressive strength.
