One of the innovations needed to create lightweight wall is possible by using Styrofoam as a partially fine aggregate substitution. This study was conducted to study the flexural strength of Styrofoam lightweight concrete panel walls with a high-volume fly ash content in a square column connection. Methodology: The size of the wall panel used is 120 x 30 x 10 cm with 10 x 10 cm square column holes as support on both sides. In the centre of the wall panel, four square holes with a dimension of 18 x 4 cm were created. The variations of fine aggregate replacement with Styrofoam were 50% and 60% by the volume of fine aggregate, while the use of Fly ash is 50% as partially cement substitution. SCC (Self Compacting Concrete) method was used to manufacture this kind of concrete. Results: The results of Slump Flow T50 test for 50% and 60% Styrofoam variations are 64 cm and 59 cm, while the concrete weight-volumes are1387.7 kg/m 3 and 1259.4 kg/m 3. Compressive strength test for both variations are 42.62 Kg/cm 2 and 31.71 kg/cm 2. Stiffness values for both variations are 1434.7 N/mm and 1125 N/mm. This study also analysed the maximum length of the panel wall in which for 50% Styrofoam variation is 4 m and 60% Styrofoam variation is 3.2 m. Applications/ Originality/ Value: Research on Styrofoam concrete hollow panel walls incorporated with high volume fly ash is significant since it opens the possibility to reduce the Styrofoam waste.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
