description |
This project reports the results of experimental investigation
s
into the properties of
lightweight
concrete
blocks
containing expanded polystyrene beads
with fly ash
.
Lightweight concretes can be produced by replacing the normal aggregates in concrete
depending upon the requirements of density and strength.
This
project
use
s
expanded
polystyrene beads as lightweight aggregate for replacement of
coarse
aggregate in
the
mixes
. The main objective of this
project
is
to
determine the properties
of EPS
concretes containing fly ash.
T
otal of
126
samples
of
concrete blocks
were prepared for
this study.
The properties studied were compressive strength, water absorption, weight
and density,
and heat
resistance
of the polystyrene concrete
block
with fly ash
.
The
experimental
results
show
that
the compressive strength for samples with high
percentage of poly
styrene
gives
low compressive strength but samples with high
percentage of fly ash give a higher compressive strength. The
project
also found that
the optimum percentage of fly ash that can be replaced in the concrete is 30%.
The
properties of the
block
a
re mainly influenced by the content of polystyrene beads in the
mix
and the percentage of fly ash
