Analysis of the potential use of polystyrene concrete in the construction of buildings during their construction in areas of high seismicity
Article is devoted to the investigations results of new kind of lightweight concrete properties for use in non-load-bearing constructions of residential and public buildings. Authors performed a study of physical and mechanical properties of concrete mixtures based on peat and polystyrene. Testing of physical and mechanical properties of the material confirmed that the use of polystyrene concrete with filler in the form of modified peat in protecting building structures will enable the construction of residential, public and industrial buildings with a sufficient level of reliability in the perception of seismic effects
