Bonding Strength of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Beads Enhanced with Steel Fiber in Reinforced Lightweight Concrete (LWC)

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
Lightweight concrete (LWC) is one of the favourable concrete to be used as it has low density with acceptable high strength, high durability, and toughness. In order to produce LWC, it is required special material such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads and steel fiber to be added into the design mix concrete.

A proposed lightweight fill for embankments using cement-treated Yangzi River sand and expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads

Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2009
This paper presents a new kind of material for use in highway embankments in the soft soil of the Yangzi River delta. The experimental study was carried out first to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed material, using different mixtures of river sand, cement and expanded polystyrene beads. This was confirmed by numerical modeling which indicated

Study on Cement-Treated Yangtze Hydraulic Sand Mixed with Expanded Polystyrenes (EPS) Beads as Backfill Material in Highway Embankments

Paving Materials and Pavement Analysis, 2010
The mechanical characteristics of the lightweight fill using hydraulic sand mixing with expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads were investigated in this paper. Unconfined compression tests, CBR tests and tri-axial shear tests were performed for the presented lightweight fill.

Applications of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads and polyamide 66 in civil engineering, Part Two: Stabilization of clayey sand by lime/polyamide-66

Composite Interfaces, 2006
While lime is most commonly used as stabilizing agent for clayey sands, this stability can be significantly improved with composition of lime containing polyamide-66 strips. Lime reacts chemically with fine grained material through a process termed cation exchange. The lime creates a surplus of Ca2+ cations that tend to replace monovalent cations. This
