    This document provides cement mix designs to produce different densities of cellular concrete (CLC), also called foam concrete, using only cement or cement with sand. It lists the required amounts of materials including cement, water, foam, and additives to produce 1 cubic meter of CLC at wet and expected dry densities ranging from 300-1600 kg/m3. The cement only mixes are intended for thermal insulation and other applications requiring lower strength, while higher sand mixes provide increased strength for structural uses. Compressive strengths ranging from 0.38-17 MPa are also specified depending on the mix design. Thermal conductivities between 0.079-0.54 W/mK are estimated based on oven dry densities.

    The document describes different mix designs and properties of cement-only and sand-cement cellular concrete as well as EPS-foam concrete.

    Cement-only, sand-cement, and EPS-foam concrete are described with their respective mix designs and properties. Cement-only is used for thermal insulation while sand-cement and EPS-foam concrete can be used for structural applications.

    The compressive strength of cellular concrete can vary depending on the type of cement, additives, admixtures, fibers, curing method, and water quality used in the mix design.

    Remarks :
    Depending on purpose and conditions of exploitation, Cellular Concrete (CLC), often referred to as Foam Concrete, can have different densities.
    Cellular Concrete strengths may vary depending on the used cement, additives, admixtures, as well as water quality.
    Compressive and flexural strengths can significantly be increased by adding fibre and/or by a suitable curing method.
    Cement only CLC is for thermal insulation products, void-fills, levelling and sloping layers of floors and roofs,
    geotechnical applications tunnel and mine fills, energy absorption or shock mitigation, for backfills in sewer, underlying layers
    under foundation slabs and roads, pipe, slab and wall insulation, for granulated CLC (artificial lightweight aggregates), etc.

    * the maximum compressive strength was achieved by using selected cement, sand and superplasticizer (water reducing admixture)
    Depending on purpose and conditions of exploitation (required strength and thermal conductivity), CLC (Foam Concrete) can have different densities:
    up to 800 kg/m3 for thermal insulation products, void-fills, geotechnical applications, levelling and sloping layers, and for granulated CLC (lightweight aggregates)
    600-1200 kg/m3 for thermal insulating construction products (bricks, panels, blocks, slabs, partitions, etc.)
    1000-1600 kg/m3 for structural construction products, cast in situ, etc.

    Remarks:
    Strengths and other characteristics are achieved with optimum cement, polystyrene granules and technical foam.
    Polystyrene - Foam Concrete may have various densities, characteristics and composition depending on the purpose and the application structure:
    PBG-S V25-V40 is a lightweight Cellular Concrete, which is obtained by mixing of round polystyrene granules virgin beads with cement/mortar slurry and foam.
    The result is an easy-to-process light material with excellent mechanical and thermal insulation properties.
    PBG-S 25-40 is a lightweight Cellular Concrete, which is obtained by mixing of recycled polystyrene chips with cement/mortar slurry and foam.
    The result is an easy-to-process light material with good thermal insulation properties.
