The Influence of Polymer and Organic Fiber on the Strength of Light Aggregate Concrete

Abstract:

As a kind of high performance concrete, light aggregate concrete has the following advantages, for example lightweight high strength, thermal insulation performance, seismic performance, refractory, penetration-proof performance and so on. This experiment with EPS particles which are made of ceramsite and waste polystyrene foam plastic as light aggregate and fly ash as admixture prepare light aggregate concrete, research the influence of polymer and organic fiber on the strength of light aggregate concrete, and analysis of the microstructure and mechanism, the experimental results indicate that polymer and organic fiber can effectively improve the microstructure of light aggregate concrete and the interface of light aggregate and cement paste, significantly improve the strength of light aggregate concrete and reduce its brittleness.
