Concrete is an eminent material in the field of engineering, production of light weight material and replacement of waste in concrete is a complex task. This present work shows the results of an experimental study on various strength and durability tests on concrete containing Polystyrene as a replacement of coarse aggregate and GGBFS Was used as a partial replacer for cement to check durability properties. Durability test such as acid curing and sorptivity were studied. For this research work M20 grade is used and the tests are conducted for various proportions of Polystyrene with coarse aggregate 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%.The obtained results were compared with those of normal concrete
GGBF, Materials, Polystyrene
