The article considers the topicality of the development of cement foam concrete meeting modern requirements for energy saving and energy efficiency. The interrelation of physical and mechanical properties of cement foam concrete with the features of its structure formation at macro- and microlevel is considered. The main components for the manufacture of structural and heat-insulating cement foam concrete are described. The results of experiments on the determination of the dependence of the parameters of the structure of a foam concrete mixture, which form the physical and mechanical properties of finished products, are presented. A mechanism has been established for the active participation of particles of fibrous cellulose filler in the organization of the structure of a foam concrete mix and samples based on it. The optimal concentration of fibrous cellulose filler in the raw meal mix was confirmed.

Keywords: structural and heat-insulating foam concrete, modifying additives, technical carbon, fibrous filler
