Experimental Study on the Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Polystyrene Blocks in Concrete Beams

A new type of lightweight beam system was recently proposed by embedding polystyrene in beams to improve structural efficiency. This removes the non-performing concrete in the neutral axis and tension region to provide a comparable strength as a solid beam. There are, however, limited studies conduc...
