Abstract
This document provides a contemporary overview of a wide array of aspects concerning foam concrete and its inherent properties. This review covers topics such as the use of alternative binders, the influence of water/cement ratio, fine aggregate replacements and an examination of mechanical properties. By meticulously scrutinizing compressive strength data from multiple authors, this exploration not only highlights the current state of knowledge but also underscores the potential for future investigations in the realm of foamed concrete. Similarly, this examination realizes the limitations that the unique structure of foamed concrete imposes on diverse applications in construction and engineering.
