Mix details and material behaviour of polystyrene aggregate concrete
S H Perry,P H Bischoff,K Yamura +2 more
TL;DR: Polystyrene aggregate concrete is one of many lightweight, low strength materials with good energy-absorbing characteristics as mentioned in this paper, however, due to poor workability and a susceptibility to segregation, polystyrene concrete is not suitable for concrete construction.
