Abstract
A detailed theoretical analysis of the processes occurring in foam concrete mixtures in the period between their laying in the mold and the phase transition “from viscous to solid” completion moment. The stages of the formation of inter-pore septa in foam concrete mixtures, depending on the material nature and shape of the solid dispersed particles of raw materials, are sequentially considered. It is shown that their shape affects the mass transfer rate and the density of inter-pore septa during the structure formation. The reasons for the fluctuations in the elasticity of foam films during the predominance period of viscous bonds between the components of the raw material are described. The gas inclusions factors of influence on the dispersion parameters and, as a consequence, the aggregative stability of foam mixtures, are ranked. The positive dispersed reinforcement effect on the mass transfer processes in mixtures and the hardened concrete strength is substantiated.
