Experimental study and modeling on effective thermal conductivity of EPS lightweight concrete

The effect of expanded polystyrene (EPS) inclusions on thermal conductivity of lightweight concrete is studied. Various mixtures are produced by incorporating EPS aggregate at different volumes (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) in concrete with three water/cement ratios (0.55, 0.50 and 0.45). The apparent...
