Geotechnical Applications
Mearl Geofoam cellular concrete reduces soil loading while increasing compressive and shear strength. It is an engineered geotechnical material containing uniformly distributed air voids. In its rigid form, it can be thought of as concrete having air as the aggregate. Its density can be varied from 20 to 120 lb. per cubic feet; and its compressive strength from 20 to 3000 psi.
