Abstract

The present work investigates the performance of cellular light weight concrete (CLC) to study the effects, on the workability, compressive strength and shrinkage of foamed concrete by replacing the cement with Fly Ash. Adding different percentage of synthetic fiber in foamed concrete. In this work find out the densities, workability, shrinkage, flexural strength and compressive strength development of foamed concrete. Preformed foam by using local protein based foaming agent and foam generator is used
to produce the foamed concrete. Different types of mixtures with varying fly ash content, different percentage of synthetic fiber and foaming agent/water ratio (1:40) is prepared and tested. Then after to gain maximum strength at 28 days with optimum fly ash content with and without synthetic fiber. Workability and drying shrinkage increase as the fly ash replacement of cement increases
