One of the disadvantages of normal concrete is the high self-weight of the concrete. Density of the normal concrete is in the range of 2200 kg/m3 to 2600 kg/ m3 .This heavy self-weight make it as an uneconomical structural material. Advantages of expended polystyrene beads in lightweight concrete is...
