Abstract
Styrogravel concrete is a new-composite concrete made of a mix of styrogravel as a material replacing natural gravel. Styrogravel is a new material resulted from a simple chemical reaction of Styrofoam which is gravel-alike. The making process of the styrogravel is the same as that of conventional gravel. The method can be used as comparison of the solidity of the styrogravel in mechanical laboratory testing. The results of the study show that styrogravel concrete as a new concrete material is proven to be lighter yet stronger in comparison to conventional gravel. In terms of elasticity, styrogravel is proven to be better in deformation. Finally, in terms of axial elasticity, styrogravel is proven to be better when reaching high stretch.
