This study investigated the mechanical and thermal properties of glass fibre-reinforced ceramsite-foamed concrete with a volume of entrained air generated by hydrogen peroxide. The effects of hydrogen peroxide content, glass fibre content, glazed hollow bead content and ceramsite content on the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and thermal conductivity were investigated. The results indicated that with the addition of hydrogen peroxide and an increase in glazed hollow bead and ceramsite content, there was a significant increase in the brittleness of foamed concrete. Glass fibre can obviously improve the splitting tensile strength and reduce the thermal conductivity of foamed concrete. In addition, an empirical compressive strength formula of glass fibre-reinforced ceramsite-foamed concrete was recommended.
