Abstract

Foam mortar is a concrete-like material consisting of a mixture of sand, cement, water and foam agent. This material can be used as road embankment material due to its light weight, high enough strength for subgrade, bulk and compressive strength can be designed as desired so as to reduce the impact of subsidence on the road above. This research is carried out to produce foamed mortar with variations in air pressure and seeing the effect of changes in air pressure. Test results show that per 5 psi the decrease in air pressure decreases the compressive strength value at 28 days by 22.840% and decrease the dry density of foam mortar at 28 days by 9.298%. The maximum compressive strength value occurs at the age of 28 days, varying by air pressure 30 psi, 35 psi, 40 psi, 46 psi and 50 psi are 5381,241 kPa, 4058,758 kPa, 3332,111 kPa, 2376,055 kPa and 1896,366 kPa respectively. The highest compressive strength value occurs on 30 psi air pressure variations. Foamed mortar, foam agent, air pressure, compressive strength, density
