Concrete with a high content of PET plastic waste aggregate (40% and 50% volumetric replacement to natural coarse aggregate) can be utilized in structural insulation lightweight concrete members. Tuladhar and Yin (2019) studied the possibility of producing lightweight concrete (1500 kg/m 3) by utilizing recycled plastic aggregate.

Ultra series Light Weight Concrete. Lafarge's Ultra Light Weight Concrete is created with the addition of either polystyrene beads (non-structural) or a lightweight aggregate (structural) to the formula. Although both formulations are lightweight products, they have several important differences that make each one suitable to specific projects.

The research on concrete having EPS beads was first introduced in 1972 when Cook (1972) reported using EPS beads as concrete aggregates for lightweight purposes. Although EPS beads have a spherical shape and closed-cellular structure with about 98% of air (Sarmiento et al., 2016) and have hydrophobic nature, they can easily …

Lightweight concrete with expanded polystyrene (EPS) has been adopted for several decades. The EPS is to reduce the structural weight of the material for precast and prefabrication construction with enhanced thermal/acoustic insulation. Primarily, the EPS bead was partially replaced with both coarse and fine aggregates.

June 9, 2012. Past Projects. Polystyrene beads are often mistakenly referred to as STYRO™ beads. The puffing of EPS resin, creating the puffed polystyrene beads is the first step in producing EPS (expanded polystyrene) blocks. Puffed polystyrene beads are used for several different applications besides the manufacture of EPS blocks.
