Renewal of landslides, protection of slope failures and tunnel profiles with lightweight composite concrete made with polystyrene (original) (raw)

2007

Abstract

This article is about renewal of landslides, protection of slope failures and tunnel profiles with lightweight composite concrete made with polystyrene. This concrete has several advantages over ordinary concretes arid mortars: it is lighter, it can be build in by concreting machines in thickness up to 50 mm. Coating made from this concrete is filtrating and protective and it is frost resistant, because the ice can be easily spread inside this material. Lightweight composite concrete made from polystyrene is easily processed: it can be drilled, cut, and grind, so it is easy to drill and concrete anchors or even plant trees for environment renewal. This concrete is permeable as well as the soil, so it is suitable for roots of trees. Lightweight composite concrete made from polystyrene can absorbs noise, so it is suitable for tunnels and slopes by the roads.
