Abstract

Foamed concrete is a material with great development potential, which has been used in the construction industry. But foam concrete still has some shortcomings. The purpose of this article is to study the effect of rice straw on the apparent density of foam concrete. Through literature research and investigation, the preparation process, raw material composition and application fields of foam concrete are briefly introduced, and the characteristics of foam concrete are analyzed, including lightness, permeability, corrosion resistance, thermal insulation and so on. Through experimental methods and data analysis, the effect of rice straw on foam concrete was studied, including the length, diameter and content of rice straw. The results of the study show that, without the admixture, the length of the rice straw is 3 mm, directly 1 mm, and the content is 2%. The apparent density of the foam concrete is at least 449 kg / m3. When an additive is added to the foam concrete, and the foam stabilizer content is 0.02%, the water reducing agent content is 0.3%, and the accelerator content is 3%, the rice straw length is 5mm, directly 1mm, the content is 1 %, The apparent density of foam concrete is at least 426kg / m3. There are many factors to evaluate the performance of foam concrete. This article only considers the effect on the apparent density, but in practical applications, it is necessary to determine its performance in all aspects, especially in terms of strength.
