Plastic Waste Management with Expanded Polystyrene Beads
Plastic waste is the one of the serious environmental issue due to its non-biodegradability nature. The disposing of plastic waste and plastic waste management becomes a major task in developing countries like India due to rapid growth of population and industrialization.

Porous alumina ceramics prepared by slurry infiltration of expanded polystyrene beads [PDF]
To produce highly porous MgO-doped alumina (Al2O3) ceramics, expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads were packed as a pore former and well-dispersed alumina slurry was used to infiltrate the pore space in the EPS bead compacts. The alumina particle-EPS bead green compacts were then heated to 1550°C in air to burn out the pore former and subsequently densify ...

Shear behavior of sand-expanded polystyrene beads lightweight fills [PDF]
Through direct shear and triaxial compression tests, effects of expanded polystyrene (EPS) mass ratios in sand-EPS mixtures and stress status on materials’ shear behavior were investigated. Hyperbolic curves were used to fit relationship between shear stress and shear displacement.

The behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Beams by Using Expanded Polystyrene Beads and Palm Oil Fuel Ash as Replacement Materials [PDF]
The Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams containing Expanded Polystyrene Beads (EPS) and Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) as sand and cement replacement with a percentage between 10% and 30% were studied in terms of load-deflection behaviour.

THE STRENGTH AND WATER ABSORPTION OF HEATED EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE BEADS LIGHTWEIGHT-CONCRETE
When an earthquake occurs, buildings experience a movement or mass transfer. Therefore, the use of lightweight building materials is expected to reduce the effects of the earthquake.
