Mechanical Properties of Aerated Concrete
Abstract: Nowadays it is very important to make the concrete economical. Aerated concrete is ordinary concrete that contains controlled amounts of air in the form of microscopic bubbles and having low density as compare to conventional concrete. These intentionally entrained air bubbles are extremely small. By using Air Entraining Agent (AEA), cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and water we create aerated concrete. The experiment is perform on aerated concrete which is …
