Researchers at which of the following IIT have found that thermocol or Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is used as a composite material in core of reinforced concrete sandwich?
A. IIT Madras
B. IIT Roorkee
C. IIT Bombay
D. IIT Kharagpur
Explanation:
Thermocol could be the material of the future for construction of earthquake-resistant buildings, with thermal insulation and could also save energy required to develop construction materials. Researchers at IIT Roorkee have found that thermocol or Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is used as a composite material in core of reinforced concrete sandwich, could resist earthquake forces on up to four-storey buildings.
