Hi everyone, I'm right at the point where I need to purchase some EPS for our slab foundation / stem wall on a residential net zero project. I've read and posted on the project in the past and there seems to be a consensus that Type II EPS should be fine from a compressive strength perspective in both applications.
strength of the resultant concrete will be drastically reduced. Kearsley and Visagie [1999] reported that, using unclassified fly ash, of which around 40% of the particles have diameters exceeding 45 μm, the 56 day compressive strength of concrete with wet density of 1500 kg/m3 could achieve around 45 MPa,. Although the compressive ...
