10 Â 10 Â 360 cm3 specimens and 10 Â 10 Â 10 cm3 specimens were cut from
the 36 Â 36 Â 46 cm3 specimens for compressive and tensile strengths measure-
ment, respectively. The load-bearing surface areas of each specimen were measured
carefully to calculate the strength of foam concretes. Since the strengths of the foam concretes prepared in the present study lay in the range of 0.1-1.0 MPa, the loading
