This work’s goal is to investigate the influence of the type and size of fine aggregate on the characteristics of foamed concrete. Foamed concrete was produced, and its fresh and mechanical characteristics were investigated. It was found that the spread diameter decreased when the foam was added to mixes. With regards to sand grading, when the grading of sand decreased, the diameter of the flow decreased also. Strength improved for fineness sand and enabled the production of uniform and pore distribution, which enhanced the foamed concrete's strength. The increase in compressive strength reflects the other properties of concrete, like tensile strength, that also improved.
Key words: foamed concrete / silica sand / strength / density / natural size / sieve analysis
