Abstract

Abstract: This paper deals with the use of foam concrete for the interlayer between the support and load distribution parts of the floor and ceiling structures during their rehabilitation. Foam concrete, due to its thermal insulation properties, can substitute the thermal insulation layer and at the same time, thanks to a liquid form in fresh state, can perfectly fill all unevenness and cavities in the final vertically aligned layer.
