EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON LWC WITH COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF COURSE AGGREGATE BY EPS BEADS

STEPGRAD XIV (2020), 2019
<p>In this paper, expanded polystyrene (EPS) lightweight concrete (LWC) was investigated. The mainaim was to design EPS LWC with the specified density of 1200 kg/m3 according to standard concretemix proportion. Mix proportion included total replacement of the conventional coarse aggregate bymaximum possible amount of EPS beads, which ...

Macro- and meso-scopic deformation mechanisms of EPS-mixed soils based on refined numerical simulation

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023
The EPS-mixed soils are composed of two solid phases (cemented soils and EPS beads) with the unique mesoscopic structure. The macroscopic behaviour of the EPS-mixed soils has been widely investigated so far, but the focus has seldom been put on the ...
