Abstract : The goal of this research is to develop a sustainable environment-friendly thermal insulation aerated concrete cladding using rice straw, silica fume, fly ash, and cement. Silica fume and rice straw were added to improve the strength and functional properties of aerated concrete. The strength and thermal properties of aerated concrete with various foam volumes are investigated in this study. A numerical analysis of thermal insulation capacity is also carried out using the COMSOL software. For all specimens, the w/s ratio is fixed to 0.55. The result shows that the mix with 20% foam volume is best in terms of desirable compressive strength and thermal conductivity.
