Experimental Study of the Properties of EPS Concrete and Manufactured Sand-EPS Concrete

Abstract

The compressive strength of two kinds of lightweight concrete was studied. The results show that the incorporation of EPS can improve the plastic deformation ability of concrete. The effect of EPS on the compressive strength of concrete depends on the amount and particle size of EPS foam. The incorporation of manufactured sand can improve the compressive strength of EPS concrete. The effect of the amount of manufactured sand on the compressive strength of EPS concrete depends on the amount of EPS in concrete.
