Background: Expanded polystyrene granules (EPG) can be used as an aggregate for producing lightweight concrete (LWC). EPG was to make LWC with a density of 1326kg/m 3 and 1337kg/m 3, while the without fiber had 1320kg/m . Due low strength brittleness LWC, need improve properties this type is necessary. Objective: The aim paper research investigate possible ways enhancing mechanical LWC. Hence, ...

A perennial plant Miscanthus x giganteus has found its habitat and multiple applications in Europe, despite the fact that it originates from Asia. This study presents potential use of this new lightweight concrete materials so-called bio-concretes. The above-ground part was harvested, dried, crushed, mixed with binders different proportions. After casting drying, samples were characterized phys...
