"The present paper attempts to develop structural fibered foamed concrete (SFFC) with 10–70 MPa [1,500-7,300 psi] compressive strength and 1000–1900 kg/m³ [62-119 lb/ft³] density."
Foam concrete, also known as lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) and low density cellular concrete (LDCC), and by other names, is defined as a cement-based slurry, with a minimum of 20% foam entrained into the plastic mortar. As mostly no coarse aggregate is used for production of foam concrete the correct term would be called mortar instead of concrete; it may be called "foamed cement" as well. T
"Typically, the samples from the lowest part of the column were 16 to 32 kg/m3 (1 to 2 lb/ft3) denser than the samples from the top of the column. In extreme cases, variations as high as 320 kg/m3 (20 lb/ft3) were noted. Denser samples are stronger. In these low-density concretes, a 16- to 32-kg/m3 (1- to 2-lb/ft3) density difference can increase the unconfined compressive strength by 100 kPa (14.5 psi) or more."
