Abstract
In the present study, we aim to find how polystyrene granules and fly ash influence the process of obtaining green concrete. In this respect, we prepared the concrete by using aggregates in three sorts, cement, fly ash as replacement of 10% cement and polystyrene granules as replacement of aggregates. Using these components, we analyzed certain characteristics such as density, compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength that were experimentally determined. In addition, the influence of polystyrene granule as replacement of aggregate was analyzed and compared with a control mix of concrete. Our main results underline that effects of polystyrene granules imply smaller densities than that of the control concrete, technical strengths decreased in comparison with control mix without polystyrene and values of tensile strengths were closer to that of control mix.
