This paper scrutinizes bending performance of light weight half-slab mortar against bending and punching load. To produce the slab, 30 % round bud Styrofoam was used as fine aggregate substitution. Besides, glazed nylon fiber was applied to increase its tension strength and cavities at tension area...
