Large concrete slabs are now being produced more efficiently using reinforced styrofoam, a method that combines the lightness of styrofoam with the durability of concrete. This innovative process ...

“They take an equal load of respective RCC slabs and reduce the overall cement consumption by 40 per cent and steel consumption by 30 per cent,” Vinu explains. These have been used as a replacement ...
