EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF SUSTAINABLE CONCRETE WITH WASTE PVC SAWDUST AND METAKAOLIN
Concrete is widely used, but its production consumes natural resources and generates significant CO₂ emissions. Modern construction requires structural stability and durability while reducing environmental impact through sustainable materials. This study investigated the use of PVC sawdust as a partial replacement for fine aggregate and metakaolin ...

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON LWC WITH COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF COURSE AGGREGATE BY EPS BEADS
In this paper, expanded polystyrene (EPS) lightweight concrete (LWC) was investigated. The mainaim was to design EPS LWC with the specified density of 1200 kg/m3 according to standard concretemix proportion. Mix proportion included total replacement of the conventional coarse aggregate bymaximum possible amount of EPS beads, which ensures concrete ...
