Comparative Study of Properties of EPS with Regular Construction Materials

Expanded Polystyrene, often referred to as EPS, is a kind of rigid, closed cell foam plastic. EPS properties have a low thermal conductivity, high compressive strength, is light weight, inert. It can be used as a building material or a design element, and can be molded into many shapes for a number of household uses as well. The modern EPS Sandwich Concrete Block is a new invention or researched type of block, in which Expanded Polystyrene (Thermocole) material is used. And it gives an additional property to the block. Hence these blocks are useful in various climatic conditions. When this Thermocole Sandwich Concrete Block is used in construction work, they reduce the construction time as well as construction cost. For further and smooth conduct of the project we contacted Associates named V.DAS Associates they provided us the required help. After receiving the Sample we prepared them in the shape of the sample used in normal construction practices. We studied the literature review and did the analysis about the EPS materials. We performed the testing that is discussed in detail. At the end Results and Analysis was done.
