Experimental Investigation on Cement-Styrofoam Lightweight Floating Panel
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2025, Vol 10, Issue 01
Abstract
The goal of this research is to create a lightweight floating Cement-Styrofoam (CS) panel. Styrofoam of 3 different sizes were used. Three different mix ratios of cement: Styrofoam (1:1, 1:2, and 1:4) having large, medium, and small FM (5.7, 5.3, and 5.1 respectively) are taken to make standard-size concrete cylinder molds. The density of the Styrofoam cylinder molds varies from 417.88–1009.35 kg/m3. The compressive strength of CS cylinder molds was seen to vary from 0.603–4.05 MPa. Moreover, considering the compressive strengths and density, the CS slab (610mm x 610mm x 76mm) is made to measure the maximum weight (kg) it takes before sinking. The study provides some elementary experimental results that can be used for more studies in this field.
