Abstract

“Foam concrete is extensively used in civil construction and structure because it has low tone weight and thermal conductivity. We are showing comparison between fine aggregate with polyurethane foam. There are some of the tests which are going to perform as follows compression test and slump cone test in between normal concrete and polyurethane foam concrete for work ability and compressive strength. After testing the cube cast will be performed for seven, fourteen and twenty eight days. The last step will be a replacement of polyurethane foam by fine aggregate. Basically foam is partially replaced by fine aggregate 5%, 15%, and 30%. 1.To begin with the first ratio it will be 95% of fine aggregate and 5% of polyurethane foam. 2. The second percentage to be added for foam is 15%. 3. The third percentage to be mixed of foam with aggregate is 30%. Also polyurethane foam is a waste product which is out in industry. That we are using in our project as a by product. So there is less pollution occurred in environment. From above test by adding mentioned percentage of foam with aggregate after performing higher compressive strength will be taken as best ratio for final results.
