Abstract

This paper reviews the literature on research conducted on study of lightweight concrete by using expanded polystyrene and geopolymer. polystyrene is one of the highly popular plastic packaging material, which turns into waste material and also harmful to ecosystem. as 75% of the world surface is covered with water, find faces problems in acquisation of land properties. it is an mixture of concrete having density less than water (i.e. for floating structures). expanded polystyrene is an composed of 98% air and 2% of polystyrene material. with infrastructure development growing and the housing sector booming the demand for cement is also bound to increase. that’s why geopolymer is the best replacement for the cement concrete now a days as it is innovative and eco-friendly construction material
