An investigation on the structural properties of concrete with expanded polystyrene (EPS) and flyash

The dead load due to the weight of conventional concrete has always been the lead cause for high earthquake loads in a structure. In light of the need to greater lessen the weight of concrete, a concrete mixture composing of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and flyash powder is proposed. Although a number...
