Composite Materials Based on Lightweight Concrete

Foam-concrete, eventually polystyrene-concrete, as one of the possible modifications of lightweight concrete brings a minimum additional loading of low-bearing and highly compressible soils, provides a significant improving of thermal properties of building floor structure and saving its realization financial costs, as well as non-negligible reduction in execution time. The main advantages, compared with traditional materials, are good thermal resistance, low density, effective transport to any construction site with easy workability and adequate strength after consolidation.
