Abstract:

Abstract: Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam is a lightweight material that has been used in engineering applications since at least the 1950s. Its density is about a hundredth of that of soil. It has good thermal insulation properties with stiffness and compression strength comparable to medium clay. It is utilized in reducing settlement below embankments, sound and vibration damping, reducing lateral pressure on sub-structures, reducing stresses on rigid buried conduits and related applications. Expanded polystyrene waste in a granular form is used as lightweight aggregate to produce lightweight structural concrete with the unit weight varying from 1200 to 2000 kg/m³. The polystyrene aggregate concrete was produced by partially replacing coarse aggregate in the reference (normal weight) concrete mixtures with equal volume of the chemically coated crushed polystyrene granules. This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation into the engineering properties, such as compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, drying shrinkage and creep, of polystyrene aggregate concrete varying in density. The main objectives of this study are the cement contents for the concrete mixtures used were 410 and 540kg/m³. Keywords: EPS, Cement, aggregate ,Compressive strength

Abstract:

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) wastes are generated from industries and post-consumer products. They are non-biodegradable but are usually disposed by burning or landfilling leading to environmental pollution. The possibility of using EPS as partial replacement for fine aggregates in concrete has generated research interests in recent times. However, since the physical and mechanical properties of EPS are not like those of conventional fine aggregates, this study is focussed on the use of EPS as an additive in concrete while keeping other composition (sand and granite) constant. Expanded polystyrene was milled, the bulk density of EPS was 10.57kg/m3 and particle size distributions were determined. Engineering properties of expanded polystyrene concrete were determined in accordance with BS 8110-2:1985. The result showed that the amount of expanded polystyrene incorporated in concrete influence the properties of hardened and fresh concrete. The compressive strengths of 17.07MPa with 5 % expanded polystyrene concrete at 28 days for example can be used as a lightweight concrete for partitioning in offices. Incorporating expanded polystyrene granules in a concrete matrix can produce lightweight polystyrene aggregate concrete of various densities, compressive strengths, flexural strengths and tensile strengths. In conclusion, this reduces environmental pollution, reduction in valuable landfill space and also for sustainability in construction companies

Abstract:

Expanded polystyrene lightweight concrete is a composite which can be made by adding expanded polystyrene aggregate in normalweight concrete (as matrix). The research was focused on the effect of properties and volume of the matrix on the properties of lightweight concrete. The results show that properties of structural polystyrene concrete, such as workability and compressive strength, depend on the aggregate size of the matrix. It also shows that decreasing aggregate size of the matrix is the effective way to increase workability and compressive strength of lightweight concrete. When the density of concretes decrease by 200 kg/m³, slump values decrease by about 20 to 30 mm with lightweight concrete mixtures using maximum particle size of 0.63 mm, while slump values decrease by about 40 mm with the mixtures using maximum particle size of 20 mm. At the same density, the compressive strength of the structural polystyrenre concrete significantly decreased when the coarse aggregate diameter greater than 10 mm. Therefore, coarse aggregates with diameter size are smaller than 10 mm was recommended to use for matrix. In the result, expanded polystyrene concrete with density from 1,400 kg/m³ to 2,000 kg/m³ and compressive strength more than 20 MPa for structural application was made.

Abstract:

This paper covers the results of an experimental investigation on mechanical and durability properties of concrete containing waste polystyrene based lightweight aggregate called Stabilised Polystyrene (SPS) as a partial replacement of natural aggregates. The properties investigated in this paper were water absorption by capillary action and total absorption, compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV). The composite aggregate was formed with 80% waste polystyrene which was shredded to different sizes, 10% of a natural additive to improve the resistance to segregation and 10% Portland cement. The natural fine aggregate were replaced with 0%, 30%, 60% and 100% (by volume) of SPS. There was an increasing in water absorption and a decreasing in compressive strength and UPV with the increase in SPS aggregate content in concrete.

Abstract:

Abstract Stem cuttings of rose-of-sharon (Hibiscus syriacus L. ‘Jeanne d'Arc’), barberry (Berberis thunbergii DC. ‘Crimson Pygmy’), juniper (Juniperus horizontalis Moench. ‘Plumosa Compacta’), and arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis L. ‘Woodwardii’) were rooted in substrates consisting of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% (by vol) perlite or expanded polystyrene beads with peat. Percentage of rose-of-sharon cuttings rooted and root ratings were lower with polystyrene than with perlite. Statistically, more barberry cuttings rooted with polystyrene (78.8%) than with perlite (78.3%), but the difference in rooting between polystyrene and perlite was not horticulturally significant. More juniper and arborvitae cuttings rooted with 50% perlite than with other perlite concentrations. Percentage of rooted juniper cuttings decreased but percentage of rooted arborvitae cuttings increased as polystyrene concentration in the substrate increased. More roots and longer roots formed on juniper cuttings with perlite than with the same concentration of polystyrene in the substrate. In contrast, arborvitae cuttings had more roots with 25% perlite than with 25% polystyrene, but arborvitae cuttings in 50%, 75%, or 100% polystyrene had more roots than cuttings in the same concentration of perlite. Results indicate expanded polystyrene is a reasonable substitute for perlite in rooting substrate for barberry, juniper, and arborvitae if appropriate ratios of polystyrene to peat are used.

Abstract:

Fracture mechanics is applied to study the behavior of concrete containing expanded polystyrene (EPS) aggregate replacement. The EPS replaces a portion of the normal weight fine aggregate. Previous research has shown EPS aggregate replacement changes the failure mode in compression from a typical instantaneous failure, as in normal weight concrete (NWC), to a more gradual dissipation of load carrying capacity. This behavior is investigated through the use of fracture mechanics. The fracture energy, critical stress intensity factor and characteristic length of EPS concrete, NWC and fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) are experimentally determined. The two types of tests used to study these properties are the three point bending test recommended by the RILEM technical committee and a wedge splitting test developed recently. The conclusions derived from this research demonstrate that EPS aggregate replacement increases the size of the fracture process zone in front of the crack tip. This increase in size changes the failure mode of concrete allowing it to maintain load after reaching peak load and absorb more energy during the fracture process.

Este estudo apresenta o comportamento de solos reforçados com adição de pérolas de EPS (Poliestireno Expandido) através de estudo experimental. Os solos utilizados foram: um solo argiloso de origem coluvionar, uma areia limpa, mal graduada e bentonita. Foram realizados ensaios de caracterização física e de caracterização mecânica, como ensaios de compactação Proctor Normal, ensaios triaxiais consolidados isotropicamente drenados (CID) e ensaios de cisalhamento direto para buscar estabelecer padrões de comportamento que possam explicar a influência da adição de pérolas de EPS, relacionando-a com os parâmetros de resistência ao cisalhamento. Os ensaios triaxiais CID foram realizados em amostras de solo argiloso compactadas na densidade máxima seca e umidade ótima, com teores de pérolas de EPS de 0 por cento, 0,25 por cento, 0,50 por cento, 0,75 por cento e 1 por cento, em relação ao peso seco do solo e os ensaios triaxiais CID em amostras de areia foram realizados para uma densidade relativa de 50 por cento e umidade de 10 por cento, com teores de pérolas de EPS de 0 por cento, 0,50 por cento e 0,75 por cento, em relação ao peso seco do solo. Os ensaios de cisalhamento direto com bentonita foram realizados com teores de pérolas de EPS de 0 por cento, 0,50 por cento e 0,75 por cento, em relação ao peso seco do solo. Os resultados mostraram que o tipo de solo, o teor de pérolas de EPS e o nível de tensão confinante influenciam positivamente o comportamento mecânico final dos compósitos com relação aos parâmetros de resistência, porém não há uma tendência de comportamento bem definida ao analisar cada fator independentemente. Portanto, o uso de pérolas de EPS em obras geotécnicas de carregamento estático contribuiria com o menor consumo de material natural e a consequente redução dos custos de transporte e volume de material mobilizado.
This study presents the behavior of soils reinforced with EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) beads through experimental study. The soils used were a coluvionar soil, a clean and barely graduated sand and bentonite. Physical characterization, Standard Proctor, consolidated drained triaxial and direct shear tests were performed to establish patterns of behavior that may explain the influence of the addition of expanded polystyrene beads, linking it with shear strength parameters. The CID triaxial was performed on samples of clayey soil compacted within the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content with expanded polystyrene beads ratios of 0 percent, 0.25 percent, 0.50 percent, 0.75 percent and 1 percent by dry weight of soil. CID triaxial tests on sand samples were made to a relative density of 50 per cent and 10 per cent of moisture content, with EPS beads ratios of 0 percent, 0.50 percent and 0.75 percent by dry weight of soil. The direct shear tests with bentonite were made with EPS beads ratios of 0 percent, 0.50 percent and 0.75 percent by dry weight of soil. The results showed that the kind of soil, the EPS content and level of confining stress level influence positively on the final mechanical behavior of the composites with respect to strength parameters, but there is no well-defined pattern of behavior to examine each factor independently. Therefore, the use of EPS beads in geotechnical works, contribute to lower consumption of natural material and the consequent reduction in transport costs and volume of mobilized material.

Abstract:

Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) with a small thickness, high tensile and compressive strength has been combined with lightweight materials to create sandwich elements. Due to the low strength of the core materials in the sandwich elements, the additional shear connector devices were suggested to improve the load capacity. However, it raised an idea of using a higher strength material core, Expanded Polystyrene Concrete (EPC), without any connector devices to create a new type of lightweight sandwich element, which can be an answer for not only developing lightweight structures but also solving environmental problems. In this thesis, this novel idea was gradually realized with a study on TRC-EPC sandwich beams. Firstly, experimental material tests on EPC showed the possibility to recycle EPS waste for EPC with a density of around 950 kg/m3. Thus, an EPC with a density of 920 kg/m3 and a compressive strength of 5.2 N/mm2 was chosen for the core to realize the concept for TRC-EPC sandwich with 18 experimental beams. Bending tests of six series with shear-to-depth-ratio (a/d) from 1.5 to 5.2 were implemented to study load responses of this type of sandwich beam. The failure moments of all the specimens were smaller than the nominal moment strength of the cross section. The load capacities of the specimens depend strongly on the ratio a/d. The calculations for the shear capacity according to standards as well as shear calculation approaches were implemented. Due to their generalized form, ACI 318-05 and EC2 offer conservative results for a/d<5.2. The dependence of the shear capacity on a/d could be better described with CEB-FIB Model Code 1990. For the beams with 1.52.1, ZINK’s model offered better results than the others. Besides, a new proposed equation for the shear capacity of TRC-EPC sandwich beams depending on the a/d was also suggested. In order to model the load response of the six experimental series, FEM models with ATENA developed. The models with and without a consideration of the bond between the textile and fine HSC in the TRC layer underestimated the load capacity with tolerance 26% and 28 % respectively. The tolerances for the deflections in the models with a/d>2.5 were around 22 % and 23%. Finally, an engineering model originally based on sandwich theory was developed to model the load-deflection response of this type of sandwich beams. The model could predict the displacement with tolerances from -24 % to 12 %. The load capacity of TRC-EPC sandwich beams was underestimated with a tolerance in the range of 15- 34 %
In dieser Arbeit wurde eine neue Sandwichkonstruktion untersucht, für die Textilbeton, ein Werkstoff mit geringer Dicke und gleichzeitig hoher Zug- und Druckfestigkeit, mit leichten Kernmaterialien kombiniert wurde. Aufgrund der geringen Festigkeit der Kernmaterialien werden in vielen Sandwichkonstruktionen zusätzliche Schubverbinder benötigt, um eine ausreichende Tragfähigkeit zu erreichen. Dies führte zu der Idee, Expanded Polystyrene Concrete (EPC) als höherfestes Kernmaterial zu verwenden, das keine zusätzlichen Verbindungsmittel benötigt. Damit entsteht eine neuartige Sandwichkonstruktion, die nicht nur eine Lösung für die Entwicklung neuer leichter Strukturen ist, sondern auch für Umweltprobleme. Diese Idee wurde in dieser Arbeit durch theoretische und experimentelle Untersuchungen an Textilbeton-EPC-Sandwichbalken umgesetzt. Zunächst wurden Materialuntersuchungen an EPC durchgeführt, um nachzuweisen, dass es möglich ist, EPC mit einer Dichte von rund 950 kg/m³ mit recyceltem EPS herzustellen. Für die anschließenden Untersuchungen an 18 Sandwichbalken wurde dann ein EPC mit einer Dichte von 920 kg/m³ und einer Druckfestigkeit von 5,2 N/mm² ausgewählt. In 6 Serien von Sandwichbalken wurden 4-Punkt-Biegeversuche mit Schubschlankheiten von 1,5 bis 5,2 durchgeführt. Die Bruchmomente aller Balken waren geringer als die rechnerische Momententragfähigkeit des Querschnitts und die Tragfähigkeit war stark von der Schubschlankheit abhängig. Es wurden Berechnungen zur Schubtragfähigkeit nach den verschiedenen internationalen Normen durchgeführt. Aufgrund ihrer allgemeingültigen Form ergaben ACI 318-05 und EC2 sehr konservative Ergebnisse für Schubschlankheiten kleiner als 5,2. Die Formulierung des CEB-FIB Model Code 1990 war besser geeignet, die Abhängigkeit der Schubtragfähigkeit von der Schubschlankheit abzubilden. Für die Balken mit Schubschlankheiten a/d=1,5 bis 2,1 brachten Stabwerkmodelle ausreichend gute Ergebnisse. In Fällen mit a/d>2,1 ergab das Modell von Zink die besten Übereinstimmungen. Um die Abhängigkeit der Schubtragfähigkeit von der Schubschlankheit besser erfassen zu können, wurde eine neue Berechnungsgleichung für Textilbeton-EPC-Balken vorgeschlagen. Um das Last-Verformungsverhalten der experimentellen Untersuchungen beschreiben zu können, wurden FEM-Modelle mit der Software ATENA entwickelt. Es wurden verschiedene Modelle untersucht, die den Verbund zwischen dem textilen Gelege und dem Feinbeton unterschiedlich stark berücksichtigten. Die Tragfähigkeit der untersuchten Balken wurde mit den FEM-Modellen um ca. 26% bis 28% unterschätzt. Die Abweichungen in den berechneten Durchbiegungen betrugen für die Balken mit a/d>2,5 ca. 22% bis 23%. Abschließend wurde ein Ingenieurmodell auf Grundlage der Sandwichtheorie entwickelt, mit dem das Last-Verformungsverhalten dieser Sandwichkonstruktion gut beschrieben werden kann. Mit dem Modell ergaben sich Abweichungen von -24% bis +12% zwischen experimentellen und theoretisch ermittelten Verformungen. Die Tragfähigkeit wurde mit einer Abweichung von 15% bis 34% unterschätzt

Resumo: O poliestireno expandido (EPS), que entre vários materiais, também da origem a um gessintético, o geoexpandido, que é muito utilizado em obras geotécnicas, pois quando comparado a outros materiais, possui um menor peso específico o que diminui o peso próprio da estrutura, minimizando eventuais recalques. Além disso, a combinação de alta resistência e baixa compressibilidade o tornam uma boa escolha para obras geotécnicas. No entanto, o EPS é extremamente susceptível a solventes, hidrocarbonetos e raios ultravioletas. Nesse sentido, poucos trabalhos tem explorado os aspectos de degradação do material em aplicações geotécnicas. Assim, o presente trabalho avaliou a degradação do poliestireno expandido (EPS) por meio de ensaios laboratoriais. Para tanto, utilizaram-se amostras de EPS em cinco diferentes massas específicas, a saber: 10,0, 14,5, 18,0, 22,0 e 33,5 kg/m³. O processo de degradação das amostras foi avaliado por meio da exposição à intempérie por catorze, trinta e quarenta e cinco dias e exposição ao vapor de gasolina por sete, catorze e trinta dias. Para avaliação do processo degradativo foram realizados ensaios de absorção de água, compressão uniaxial e cisalhamento direto de interface (EPS/EPS). Os ensaios foram realizados após cada período de exposição e os resultados obtidos foram comparados aos valores de referência das amostras intactas. Os resultados mostram que os valores de absorção de água, para ambos os tipos de exposição, apresentam comportamento similar, d... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: Expanded polystyrene (EPS), which among many materials, also gives rise to a gessynthetic, geo-expanded, which is widely used in geotechnical works, because when compared to other materials, has a lower specific weight which decreases the structure's own weight. , minimizing any repression. In addition, the combination of high strength and low compressibility make it a good choice for geotechnical works. However, EPS is extremely susceptible to solvents, hydrocarbons and ultraviolet rays. In this sense, few studies have explored the degradation aspects of the material in geotechnical applications. Thus, the present work evaluates the degradation of expanded polystyrene (EPS) by results of laboratory tests. For this purpose, EPS samples were used in five different specific masses, namely: 10.0, 14.5, 18.0, 22.0 and 33.5 kg/m³. The degradation process of the samples was evaluated by exposure to the weather for fourteen, thirty and forty five days and exposure to gasoline vapor for seven, fourteen and thirty days. To evaluate the degradation process water absorption, uniaxial compression and (EPS/EPS) interface direct shear tests were performed. The tests were performed after each exposure period and the results obtained were compared to the reference values of the fresh samples. The main results show that the water absorption values, for both types of exposure, present similar behavior, so that the absorption is inversely proportional to the specific mass. Regarding uniaxial re... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
