Explain the difference between structural concrete and insulating concrete.

What will be an ideal response?


Structural concrete is used in structural components, such as columns, beams, slabs, and so on. Insulating concrete is used on relatively flat (low-slope roofs) as insulation. It is made of foamed concrete, i.e., Portland cement and water paste that is foamed with air. The density of insulating concrete is 30-50 lb/cft.
