Lightweight Concrete Incorporating Waste Expanded Polystyrene
This paper covers the results of an experimental investigation on mechanical and durability properties of concrete containing waste polystyrene based lightweight aggregate called Stabilised Polystyrene (SPS) as a partial replacement of natural aggregates. The properties investigated in this paper were water absorption by capillary action and total absorption, compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV). The composite aggregate was formed with 80% waste polystyrene which was shredded to different sizes, 10% of a natural additive to improve the resistance to segregation and 10% Portland cement. The natural fine aggregate were replaced with 0%, 30%, 60% and 100% (by volume) of SPS. There was an increasing in water absorption and a decreasing in compressive strength and UPV with the increase in SPS aggregate content in concrete.
