Frequently asked questions
Q. What is it SOLEID Light weight concrete?
Q. What are the advantages of pre-formed foam?
Q. What are the disadvantages of lightweight concrete, compared to typical concrete?
Q. Is lightweight concrete chemically compatible with common additives?
Q. What additives are common to cellular concrete?
Q. What is the correct water to cement ratio for the cement water slurry?
Q. Does lightweight concrete mix contain either fine or course aggregate?
Q. What type of cement is appropriate for lightweight concrete?
Q. Is it appropriate to reinforce cellular concrete with synthetic fibers?
Ans. Synthetic fiber reinforcement is a mechanical process and does not have any effect on the chemistry of concrete. It is therefore perfectly acceptable to design fiber reinforced lightweight concrete. Fiber reinforced cellular concrete is becoming a standard material for roof decks and Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction. Oil palm fibers are also successfully being added and it produces a very good design mix of 900 kg density per cubic meter most suitable for high-rise buildings wall panels.Q. Do the bubbles in lightweight concrete collapse, reducing its volume?
Q. What are the different densities and strengths available?
Q. How much does lightweight concrete cost?
Q. Is lightweight concrete suitable for long-term use as a marine float device?
Q. How do I test lightweight concrete to determine it is performing to specs?
