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 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

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

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
