Frequently asked questions
Q. What is it SOLEID Light weight concrete?
Ans. Strength is a relative term. Concrete mixes should be designed based on end use. High compressive strength is useful where deadload or abrasion are factors, but are unnecessary for roofs and non-structural partitions. All concrete is deficient in tensile and shear strengths, however these are supplemented through structural reinforcement. Compressive strength can be made up to 40 Mpa, exceeding most structural requirements.Q. What are the advantages of pre-formed foam?

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?
Q. Do the bubbles in lightweight concrete collapse, reducing its volume?
