Özet:

 One of the most used construction materials today is concrete. Accordingly, concrete and concrete technology are developing rapidly. One of these developments is foam concrete. Research on foam concrete has increased day by day. One of the reasons for this is that foam concrete has a low density and high thermal insulation properties. In this study, the compressive strength and unit volume weight properties of foam concrete produced using diatomite sand 0-4 mm, a natural lightweight material, were emphasized. In the study, 5 different foam concrete designs were made in order to determine the mixing ratios of the foam concrete that gave the highest compressive strength and the lowest unit volume weight value. In these designs, the components other than diatomite WC ratio, micro silica sand, foaming agent, water were kept constant, while diatomite was added at 32, 36, 40, 44 and 48 of the cement weight. The most suitable technical features in hardened foam concrete were determined as 860 kgm3 unit volume weight, 5,23 MPa compressive strength, 4,27 water absorption, 1,56 kms ultrasound transmission speed of foam concrete samples produced with 36 of cement weight. As a result of the experimental studies, the optimum diatomite ratio in foam concrete production was found to be 36 of cement weight.

 Günümüzde beton teknolojisi hızlı gelişim göstermektedir. Bu sebeple beton en çok kullandığımız yapı malzemelerinden birisidir. Geliştirilmiş birçok özel beton türü mevcuttur. Bunlardan bir tanesi köpük betondur. Köpük beton yüksek oranda boşluğa sahip bir beton türüdür. Bu nedenle ısı ve ses yalıtım özellikleri oldukça iyidir. Bu çalışmada diatomitin köpük beton ile üretilebilirliği araştırılmıştır. Olumlu fiziksel özelliklere sahip diatomitin 4 mm göz açıklığına sahip elekten geçen kısmı ile 5 farklı deneme sistemi hazırlanmış diatomit dışındaki bileşenler SÇ oranı, silis kumu miktarı, köpük ajanı miktarı, su miktarı sabit tutulmuştur. Üretilen köpük beton numunelerinin TS 13655e göre birim hacim ağırlık, basınç dayanımları, su emme kapasiteleri, ultrases geçiş hızı, gibi özellikleri incelenmiştir. Yapılan deneysel çalışmalar sonucunda köpük beton üretiminde optimum diatomit oranı saptanmıştır.
