De Domenico and G. Ricciardi and E. Gugliandolo}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This paper is focused on the mechanical characterization of foamed concrete specimens with protein-based foaming agent. Unlike classic foamed concrete, a peculiar property of the analyzed foamed concrete is the extrudability, which is achieved via a specific additive in the concrete mix that significantly improves the cohesion and viscosity of the fresh cementitious paste. A broad experimental campaign was conducted to evaluate the compressive strength and the indirect tensile strength of the specimens. The study has comprised three different cement types, two water/cement ratios, three curing conditions and three target dry densities. The variability of the strength values upon the above mentioned factors is discussed.}, journal = {International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {12}, number = {3}, year = {2018}, pages = {290 - 294}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10008710}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/135}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 135, 2018}, }
