Abstract : med concrete is an increasingly popular material for diverse construction applications, from thermal/acoustic insulation and building elements to mine reinstatement and ground stabilisation. Advantages like flexibility in producing range of densities (300 to 1800kg/m3), low production cost and high workability are making foamed concrete as a suitable material for range of construction applications. Properties of foamed concrete depend on density and type of cementitious material. This paper presents a review on constituent materials, mix proportioning, production process and properties of foamed concrete. The future potential for the material is also explained.
