| Abstract | ||
| This paper outlines the method of producing high strength light weight cellular concrete using new simple method in production. An experimental program was conducted to determine the compressive strength, density, and absorption of this concrete. Cubes were tested in compression and other properties, and the results were compared with other types of cellular concrete produced by other methods. The results show that the use of water crystal beads with the addition of silica fume and superplasticizer with different percentage gave three types of cellular concrete : a – structural ( 20.87 ) MPa , b – moderate ( 15 ) MPa , and c - insulated ( Less than 11 MPa ) . | ||
