Geosphere Protection on the Base of Foam Building Systems

Abstract

Geosphere purification from pollutions demands new solutions. The new technology application is one of them. It is based on new geoecoprotective properties of soils in building systems. The main aim of the study is to present a new technology of geosphere protection both for strengthening and detoxication of soils. This technology is to use building foam on the protein base. Experimental methods were carried out during the research. Taking into account the results of the experiments, two different techniques of foam application in building systems have been developed. The first one is to use foam concrete on the cement base. Due to its high flowability foam cement can be injected into a soil and after hardening the system is like the load bearing joint which has absorption properties. The second technique is to produce the foam soil cement material which results in detoxication during its hardening. Technical and geoecoprotection properties of both the foam soil cement material and the load bearing joint are described in the paper.
