An Experimental Study on the Calculation of Optimal Foam Content Ratio for Low-carbon Concrete

Abstract

Demand for energy-saving insulator technology development is increasing in South Korea as regulations on energy-efficiency improvement in response to global warming are applied to buildings. To meet this demand, studies on thermal insulation type panels are increasing; however, they merely aim to improve the performance of organic and inorganic insulation materials. In this study, experimental research was performed to find the optimal mix for concrete base in terms of insulation performance using aerated concrete and lightweight aggregates, which have received little attention in insulation research.
