Abstract
Lightweight Foamed Concrete is one of the most-used materials for insulation of building and embankment. Since it is economic and workability of construction. However, it is not widely used in civil engineering area. Although several researches were performed to investigate material properties of light weight foamed concrete, it is still remained in unexplored field. In this research, laboratory tests were performed to figure out the material properties of light weight foamed concrete to use embankment. The compressive strengths varying with mixing ratio with water and sand as well as silica fume were compared each other. According to research results, the optimum mixing ratio to use embankment material is suggested and the compressive strength using the results is also defined. The adaptability of light weight foamed concrete as an embankment material is checked with design spec and verified.
