Towards understanding the influence of porosity on mechanical and fracture behaviour of quasi-brittle materials:experiments and modelling [PDF]
, 2017 In this work, porosity-property relationships of quasi-brittle materials are explored through a combined experimental and numerical approach. In the experimental part, hemihyrate gypsum plaster powder (CaSO 4 ⋅1/2H 2 O CaSO4⋅1/2H2O) and expanded ...

PPF-reinforced, ESP-lightened gypsum plaster
Materiales de Construccion, 2009 A new construction material has been obtained by adding aggregate to gypsum plaster which, without reducing the bending strength of plain gypsum plaster without aggregates, lowers its density, and consequently the weight of the construction elements made

Multi-Response Optimization of Semi-Lightweight Concrete Incorporating Expanded Polystyrene Beads
Sustainability, 2023 The utilization of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads in semi-lightweight concrete (SLC) intended for repair and building applications has gained great attention in recent years. This study examines the effect of mix design parameters including binder content, water-to-binder ratio (w/b), EPS content, and silica fume (SF) additions on the mechanical ...

Porous alumina ceramics prepared by slurry infiltration of expanded polystyrene beads [PDF]
Journal of Materials Science, 2005 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 ...
