Properties Of Lightweight Concretes Made Of Eps Beads

Abstract

Lightweight Concretes Cylinder has a history of more than two-thousand years and its technical development is still proceeding. This review starts with a retrospective that gives an idea of the wide range of applications covered by lightweight Concretes Cylinder during the last century. Although lightweight Concretes Cylinder is well known and has proven its technical potential in a wide range of applications over the past decades, there are still hesitations and uncertainties in practice.. Therefore, aspects are highlighted that often are the cause of misunderstandings, such as nomenclature or the informational value of certain tests. Frequently occurring problems regarding the mix design and production of lightweight Concretes Cylinder are addressed and the unintended consequences are described. Sylhet sand was used as partial replacement of EPS beads (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% Total 15-cylinder specimen of 100mm diameter and 200mm height and 10 slab specimens were prepared for testing purposes. Performance of the lightweight Concretes Cylinder was assessed in terms of their compressive strength, water permeability, chloride ion permeability and thermal conductivity tests. Compressive strength of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% EPS lightweight Concretes Cylinder are. Density of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% EPS lightweight Concretes Cylinder are 2580, 2330, 1160, kg/m3
