Enhancing thermal comfort and durability of foam concrete infill blocks through surface modifications

Foam concrete offers thermal insulation benefits for sustainable buildings but suffers from high shrinkage and permeability. This study explores surface modification using impermeable layers (40 MPa mortar, geopolymer) and coatings (polymer, water-based elastomer, nano waterproofing, epoxy) to impro...
