Evaluation of Mechanical Properties with the Use of EPS Polymer for the Preparation of Sustainable Composite Based on Concrete
Danielle Ferreira dos Santos
Abstract:The civil construction area is one of the activities with the highest consumption of raw materials, presenting a large generation of waste. The use of EPS polymer (expanded polystyrene), in addition to being technological, has a low environmental impact by reducing the use of traditional concrete inputs, in addition to being 100% recyclable, cost-effective. The study enabled the elaboration of the composite based on concrete with different contents of recycled expanded polystyrene (EPS) added (0.20; 0.10 and 0… Show more
