- Lightweight mortars containing expanded polystyrene and paper sludge ash (2014, background): “The literature on concrete containing EPS has focused on characterising the mechanical properties of these materials and has investigated the effects of using EPS with different grain sizes, organic additives and other additions such as fly ash and silica fume [10,30,31].”
- Aerogel-Incorporated Concrete: An Experimental Study (2014, unknown): “For example, expanded polystyrene (EPS), a low density ( 50 kg/m) foam consisting of discrete air voids in a polymer matrix, has been widely studied for lightweight concrete [5–7].”
- Initiation and propagation of complex 3D networks of cracks in heterogeneous quasi-brittle materials: Direct comparison between in situ testing-microCT experiments and phase field simulations (2016, methodology): “The size effect of polystyrene aggregates on strength and moisture migration characteristics of lightweight concrete was analysed by Babu et al. (2006) and on the compressive strength by Liu and Chen (2014).”
