Abstract:This paper highlights the engineering behavior of an expanded-polystyrene (EPS)-bead-based fly ash geomaterial (FAGM). The proposed geomaterial was prepared by blending EPS beads of different densities and fly ash contents with cement as a binding agent. The effects of three different EPS bead densities (25, 30 and 35 kg/m3), four EPS mix ratios (0.5–2.0%) and two cement contents (15 and 20%) on density, compressive strength at three different curing periods, 7, 28 and 90 days; and elasticity modulus were stud… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
