The negative impacts of cement-based material (CBM) production are way bigger than ever
expected. To illustrate the scale of this phenomenon, all the forests in the world, regardless …

Lightweight concrete with expanded polystyrene (EPS) has been adopted for several
decades. The EPS is to reduce the structural weight of the material for precast and …

Lightweight, high energy reservation and excellent functional performance are the main
benefits of cellular concrete. Its properties mainly depends on the pore characteristics …

The thermal conductivity (k-value) of cement-based materials like concrete is an important
factor when considering the amount of heat transfer through conduction. The amount of heat …

Expandable polystyrene (EPS) foam, one of the most widely used thermal insulation of
building materials, is highly flammable, while its traditional flame-retardant coating has been …

With the increase in global warming, the construction sector is trying to find an alternative to
ordinary concrete due to its high dead weight and thermal conductivity. Researches are …

Foamed concrete is special not only in terms of its unique properties, but also in terms of its
challenging compositional mixture design, which necessitates multiple experimental trials …

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is one of the building material capable of enhancing the
design and structural integrity of the building. Since its recognition as conventional …

In the last years the use of cellular concretes has been extended, due to the rise in the ratio
strength/weight reached, as well as the development of new cementitious raw materials …

Foamed concrete (FC) is a high-quality building material with densities from 300 to 1850
kg/m3, which can have potential use in civil engineering, both as insulation from heat and …
