Abstract |
|
Light weight concrete is useful for minimizing the dead load of structure and thus reducing the overall cost of the project. Expanded polystyrene beads can be used with the conventional concrete making materials to produce lightweight polystyrene aggregate concrete, having a wide range of performance characteristics. EPS has been used in engineering applications since at least the 1950s. It is as light as that density is about a hundredth of that soil. The polystyrene aggregate to produce lightweight structure concrete with the unit weight varying from 1200 to 2000 kg/m3. It has good thermal insulation properties because lighter the concrete, the lower the thermal conductivity. |
