Abstract
Abstract
CLC (cellular lightweight concrete) bricks are made of CLC or Foam Concrete. It is a lightweight concrete that is produced by mixing cement and fly ash slurry with preformed foam used in residential construction buildings. This paper explores the innovative design of CLC bricks featuring a rectangular outer solid structure with internal rectangular hollow and circular porous structures. Utilizing FEA-based COMSOL Multiphysics software, a comprehensive analysis is conducted to determine the maximum deformation and compressive strength of these bricks, shedding light on their structural integrity and potential applications. Under a uniformly distributed load, deformation is primarily concentrated at the edges rather than uniformly across the surface, indicating edge susceptibility. The maximum deformation is 1.6 x 10−4 mm for the rectangular hollow block, and the minimum deformation 5.5 x 10−7 mm is obtained for the circular hollow block of 3 mm diameter.
