Study on the Effect of Soil as a Filler in Foamed Concrete
The problem of concrete waste disposal poses a major challenge to the engineers working in the construction industry. In this scenario, soil can be envisaged as an eco-friendly building material. Soil-based foamed concrete is a novel lightweight construction material consisting of cement, soil, water, and foaming agent. The form of concrete with random air-voids created within the volume by the action of foaming agents is known as foamed concrete. It is characterized by its high flowability, low cement content, low aggregate usage, and excellent thermal insulation. It also possesses characteristics such as high strength-to-weight ratio and low density. Foamed concrete is considered as an economical solution in the fabrication of large-scale lightweight construction materials and components such as structural members, partitions, filling grades, and road embankment infills mainly due to its easy production process from manufacturing plants to final position of the applications. In this paper, the effect of partially replacing conventional cement with two different types of clayey soil is explored and reported. The results indicate that the strength of soil-based foamed concrete satisfies the minimal strength requirement for a building block as per Indian Standards (IS) specifications along with significant improvement of thermal characteristics. Water absorption and density properties are also reported.
