Structural performances of expanded polystyrene lightweight concrete (EPS-LWC) wall panel with different opening configurations / Rohana Mamat

This study investigates the structural performances of Expanded Polystyrene Lightweight Concrete (EPS-LWC) wall panel with different opening configurations under axial load. Opening in wall panel is importance in the form of windows, doors or as a ventilation purposes. EPS is chosen as the lightweig...
