PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE MIXTURES INCORPORATING EPS BEADS AND ADDITIVES
2023This study investigates the performance of different concrete mixtures, with a particular focus on the use of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) beads and additives, such as silica fumes and fibers. The primary objective is to assess how these materials influence the weight and strength characteristics of concrete specimens.

Effects of EPS bead inclusions on stress–strain behaviour of sand
Geosynthetics International, 2014ABSTRACT: Lightweight fill solutions have been used in many civil engineering projects throughout the world. At locations with poor soil conditions, alternative lightweight construction fill materials such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam, wood chips, and tyre wastes may be used instead of conventional fill materials.

Experimental Study on Capability of EPS Beads-Mixed Lightweight Soil
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012At present, system research on performance of the physics, deformation, strength and other properties of light mixed soil already exists in China, but the study on permeability is just in the initial stage and the system study on permeability of EPS beads-mixed lightweight soil is lack of, therefore, it is necessary to study the permeability of EPS ...

Shaking table study on sand-EPS beads-mixtures using a laminar box
Geosynthetics International, 2021Mixture of sand-expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads is one of the new geo-materials with high compressibility that can be used as a seismic buffer and base isolation due to its great capability for energy dissipation. In this study, a series of 1-g shaking table tests is conducted to assess the dynamic properties of the sand-EPS beads mixtures with a ...

Experimental Investigation on Lightweight Concrete Using EPS Beads and Metakaolin
2019Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a lightweight material commonly used in engineering applications since 1950s. Lightweight concrete can be produced by replacing the normal aggregate with lightweight aggregate, either partially or fully, depending upon the requirements of density and strength. Expanded polystyrene waste replaces coarse aggregate to produce

Lightweight fill using clay, EPS-beads and cement
2009An experimental study was carried out to investigate the mechanical characteristics of a lightweight fill composed of clay presented as Kaolin, Expanded Poly-Styrene (EPS) beads and a cementing agent as Portland cement. The effects of different compositions on the shear strength and compressibility characteristics of the lightweight mixture were ...

A method to measure the fusion strength between expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads
Journal of Materials Science, 1986Cellular polystyrene (EPS) is the most commonly used cellular thermoplast whose main applications are insulation and packages. One of its new applications is core material in building elements, and this poses higher requirements for strength. This is particularly evident in self-supporting roof elements. This study presents a method for determining the

Lightweight mixture using sand, EPS-beads and cement
2009A laboratory study is presented in this paper on the formation of a lightweight material for embankment on weak soils. The proposed material is made by blending sandy soil with (Expanded Poly-Styrene) EPS-beads and a stabilizing material such as cement. The effect of different compositions and different ratios between EPS-beads, and cement with sand on

Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2019
In past decade, the application of lightweight composite materials has received great attention in geotechnical engineering discipline. This paper evaluates the effect of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads on the compressibility and lateral earth pressure of completely rounded particulates presented by virtual steel pellets. EPS beads were added to steel

Analytical study of the drying shrinkage in light-weight concrete containing EPS beads
Advances in Cement Research, 2019This study investigates the drying shrinkage of light-weight concrete containing expanded polystyrene beads. Nine shrinkage specimens in three groups were subjected to three different conditions of drying and wetting periods for 450 d. The effect of the weight loss of specimens on the shrinkage is studied.
