Aerated Concrete, Air Entraining Agent, Aluminium Powder, Rubber Powder, Fly Ash

Aerated concrete is either a cement or lime mortar, classified as light weight concrete, in which air-voids are entrapped in the mortar matrix with the aid of suitable air entraining agent. Aerated concrete is relatively homogeneous when compared to normal concrete, as it does not contain coarse aggregate phase. It has many advantages when compared with conventional concrete such as reduced dead load, good sound insulation, considerable savings in material as a result of air voids with in aerated concrete. In this study aluminium powder is used as the air entraining agent. The focus of this paper is to study on the effect of properties of aerated concrete developed by partially replacing cement with flyash and fine aggregate with rubber powder. Rubber powder used for this study is made from used tyres of vehicles.
