Light Weight Bricks Using Waste EPS Beads
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Demand of construction materials is increasing day by day, Technology has improved a lot in construction techniques of structures. Earlier structures were constructed with heavy materials, but in present time of construction light weight materials like AAC blocks, hollow blocks, and light weight wall panels are also used to decrease the dead load of a building. The EPS beads are the lightweight material which is mixed in a mixture of cement, fly ash, sand and water to develop light weight blocks and bricks. This Experimental work intended to investigate mechanical properties of lightweight bricks and compare its functions with conventional bricks. EPS Geofoam is a light substance that has been utilized in construction applications since last few decades. EPS has good thermal insulation properties with stiffness and compression strength comparable to medium clay. In, this experimental investigation effort is made to develop light weight brick by combining EPS beads with cement fly-ash and sand.
