Abstract

This research is to analyze Styrofoam mixtures in soundproof concrete walls based on classified material properties and their trends and to find out what topics can be used as research variables in the future. A literature review using a bibliometric analysis approach starts from defining the keywords 'Styrofoam Lightweight Concrete' and 'Journal' in the Publish or Perish application with the Google Scholar data base and narrowing the results by selecting the special topic 'Styrofoam Lightweight Concrete is soundproof with Styrofoam, obtained 97 articles from 500 articles from initial search results. Then meta data was compiled using the Vosviewer application, which was used to create research trend visualizations. The research results show that the classification of research regarding soundproof lightweight concrete with Styrofoam is divided into 8 clusters with topics centered on Styrofoam and lightweight concrete. From the bibliometric analysis of the Styrofoam mixture in soundproof lightweight concrete walls, it can be concluded that this research aims to analyze the material properties of the mixture and their trends. This research also aims to identify topics that can be used as research variables in the future. The results of the bibliometric analysis show increasing interest in the use of Styrofoam mixtures in soundproof lightweight concrete construction, with a focus on acoustic properties, mechanical strength and environmental sustainability. The most cited articles highlight Styrofoam's ability to improve the acoustic properties of concrete. It is hoped that the results of this analysis can provide guidance for researchers to continue further research in this field.
