NEW CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY FOR HOUSING BUILDING COMPLEX USING EPS CORE PANEL

Abstract

Expanded Polystyrene Core Panel System (EPS) Technology for Housing and Buildings are demonstrated here taking one case study in Bhubaneswar city. In this case high strength hard drawn wire is used having diameter ranging from 3mm to 4mm and 2.5mm to 4mm with a wire mesh size of 50mmx50mm and 100mmx100mm respectively having ultimate tensile strength of steel wire 550 Mpa or more. The high density concrete of 15Kg/cum is used for a core thickness of 40mm to 120mm which is depends upon the intended use of panels generally it is made for non-load bearing walls of a core 40mm to 50mm to a load bearing walls of core 100mm to 120mm and it is used for roof slab thickness varying from 80mm to 120mm as required by the type of structures. In this case the construction was made for a five storied residential building
