Foamed concrete as a new type of lightweight, high-strength and energy-saving building materials, is widely used in the construction industry. As its high quality performance and broad space for development, Foamed concrete has been respected by the construction industry. This paper which based on the foam concrete properties and preparation process analyses the research progress of Blending material, admixtures and fibers’ effect on the performance of foamed concrete, puts forward the problem about development and application of the foam concrete in current research, and points out that the sustainable development is the basic idea of the foam concrete further research and application in future.
