Abstract
With increase in demand for construction materials, man has improved a lot
in construction Techniques of structures. In earlier ages structures where
constructed with heavy materials, But in this modern era of construction old
techniques are being more costly due to heavy loading. So the uses of
lightweight concrete material are started. The expanded polystyrene beads
are the material which substitute in the place of coarse aggregate. The main
objective Of this investigation to find a concrete mix proportion which gives
better results then the siporex block, and to study the properties, such as
density, compressive strength and splitting Tensile strength of light weight
expanded polystyrene (eps beads) concrete.Then its properties Are
determined with M15 conventional concrete.
