Improving the Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Foamed Concrete Using Silica Fume and Steel Fibers

Lightweight foamed concrete (LWFC) is characterized as a light in self-weight, self-compacting, self-levelling, and thermal and sound isolation. But it has low strength and low ductility which leads  that the application of  (LWFC)  in the building construction is limited. The flowability of the fr...
