摘要
A study has been undertaken to investigate the effects of replacing large volumes of cement on the properties of foamed concrete (up to 75% by weight) with both classified and unclassified fly ash. This is the third paper in a series; it investigates the relationship between porosity and compressive strength and presents mathematical models that have been developed to describe this relationship. The compressive strength of the foamed concrete was shown to be a function of porosity and age, and a multiplicative model (such as the equation derived by Balshin) was found to best fit the results at all ages up to I year. In addition, it was concluded that the equation derived by Hoff could effectively be used to predict the compressive strength of foamed concrete mixtures containing high percentages of ash.
