Experimental Research on Physical and Mechanical Properties of EPS Recycled Concrete

Abstract:

In order to develop a new building material by recycling wasted concrete and expanded polystyrene (EPS), the EPS recycled concretes of different density were designed, and their basic physical and mechanical properties were studied. The results show that the EPS recycled concrete’s fluidity and saturated bibulous rate increase with the increase of EPS volume content. However, the dry apparent density, compressive strength, split tensile strength and thermal conductivity of EPS recycled concrete decrease linearly with increased EPS volume content. When the EPS volume content is 60%, the EPS recycled concrete’s cubic compressive strength is 4.0MPa and its thermal conductivity is 0.27W/m•K. Therefore, EPS recycled concrete can be widely applied to the non load-bearing lightweight insulation masonry.
