Global demand for cement is increasing which resulted in a tremendous increase in carbon dioxide emission and the use of pozzolanic admixture in concrete is gaining significance in recent years. The objective of the present experimentation is to study the effect of different curing regimes on flexural strength of foamed concrete. All mixtures of foamed concrete were design for density of 1600 kg/m3 such foamed concrete (FC) mix with 100% OPC was designed as basic control mix, Processed Spent Bleaching Earth Foamed Concrete mixes (PFC) were designed by partial replacement of cement with 10%, 20% and 30% of PSBE by weight of cement namely as PFC1, PFC2 and PFC 3 respectively. The foamed concrete prism beams specimens were cured using five methods such room temperature curing (RC), water immersion (WI), site condition (SC) curing, moist curing (MC) and compound curing (CS). The flexural strength developments due to different type of curing for 7, 28, and 90 days were studied. In most curing methods, the 28 days flexural strength of foamed concrete cured under site condition was 73% of the flexural strength of cured in water tank in the laboratory (27% less). Correspondingly, the flexural strength of foamed concrete curing compound was 93% of the flexural strength of cured in the laboratory (7% less). Furthermore, it has been recommended that in areas with shortage of water, curing compounds can be effectively used and leads to strength development and sustainability of water.
