Properties of fresh and hardened concrete (2011, background): “The study [160] was an effort to develop a class of structural grade PAC with a wide range of concrete densities between 1400 and 2100 kg/ m through partial replacement of coarse aggregate with polystyrene aggregate (PA).”
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].”
A novel material for lightweight concrete production (2009, background): “[15], developed a class of structural grade PAC with a wide range of concrete densities between 1400 kg/m and 2100 kg/m through partial replacement of coarse aggregate with EPS aggregate.”
Use of recycled plastics in concrete: A critical review. (2016, methodology): “…the air content of the resulting concrete; this was because plastic and natural aggregates did not combine mix sufficiently in the concrete matrix, resulting an increasing in porosity of PA concrete, and therefore, the air content of PA concrete increased (Ravindrarajah, 1999; Tang et al., 2008).”
Engineering Properties of Concrete with Waste Recycled Plastic: A Review (2018, background): “Similar results have been reported by others [15,37,47].”
