Cover Story: Reusing waste in concrete is beneficial for the global environment. In recent studies, Styrofoam (Astropol) waste has been used as a replacement for fine aggregate in conventional concrete. Since this material is thought to be combustible when subjected to fire, it is highly crucial to expose these materials to high temperatures in order to discover the post-fire mechanical properties of the composite material. The experimental result showed that the post-fire compressive strength of concrete containing different ratios of EPS (Astropol) increases their compressive strength compared to conventional concrete. The compressive strengths were achieved 19.94 MPa, 19.29 MPa, 16.80 MPa, and 17.66 MPa per content of EPS ratios at 0%, 15%, 25%, and 50%, respectively, while the indirect tensile strength of all specimens containing EPS reduced when the fire duration and temperature increased.
