This experimental study was conducted to provide new information
about the effects of polystyrene particles (EPS) on thermal
conductivity, fire resistance and compressive strength of polystyrene
foamed concrete (PFC). For this purpose and to cover the objectives
of this study, foamed concrete with densities of 1200, 1000
and 800 kg/m3 and polystyrene foamed concrete with densities
of 400, 250, 200 and 150 kg/m3 were prepared. Whereas, the
foamed concrete with density of 800 kg/m3 was considered as a
reference for the mixing design of polystyrene foamed concrete
