Preliminary study on concrete with Polystrene waste coarse aggregate

Polystrene wastes are becoming a major environment concern; due to its large production quantities and its non-biodegrable nature. Provided that the high molecular-weight material can be broken down into useful low molecular-weight hydrocarbons, polystyrene wastes can be used as a highly valuable fe...

Description
Summary:Polystrene wastes are becoming a major environment concern; due to its large production quantities and its non-biodegrable nature. Provided that the high molecular-weight material can be broken down into useful low molecular-weight hydrocarbons, polystyrene wastes can be used as a highly valuable feedstock (1).
