Nowadays energy-efficient use of building resources is getting more and more popular. Technological developments have promoted production of new building materials with improved physical, mechanical and thermal properties. Foamed concrete with porous aggregate can serve as an alternative material for the existing lightweight concrete materials. This building material shows good mechanical and thermal properties, as well as capillary absorption and shrinkage test results that attest the longevity of this building material.
