Abstract
This research work includes production of new type of light weight concrete and studies the mechanical and thermal properties. Several proportions of raw materials were used to produce this type of concrete. This study is intended to produce light weight concrete with low thermal conductivity so that it can be used for concrete masonry units. Polystyrene aggregate was added as percentages by weight of cement to improve the thermal properties of this type of concrete .Mechanical , and thermal tests with difference ages were made in this work .For polystyrene concrete with polystyrene cement ratio (p/c) of (2.67 – 6 )% , the28-day compressive strength range is from (4.31 – 2.67)MPa, flexural strength range is from (3.05-1.719 ) MPa , density range is from ( 1493-1213 ) kg/m 3 ,and thermal conductivity range is from ( 0.91-0.782)% as a percentage by that of reference mix. The study show suitability of this type of concrete to be used in concrete masonry units of non-bearing walls.
