A Review of the Studies on Soil-EPS Composites: Beads and Blocks
Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2020Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a polymeric material whose low density and high strength/density ratio has made it renowned to be used as a lightweight geosynthetic in the embankments and retaining structures to enhance the slope stability and reduce the lateral earth pressure.

Effect of EPS beads in lightening a typical zeolite and cement-treated sand
Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2021The current study aims to assess the influence of EPS beads inclusion on the strength properties of stabilized poorly-graded sands. Various contents of zeolite and cement as stabilizing agents, with the total amounts of 4, 8, and 12% by dry soil weight, and also 0, 0.25, and 0.5% weight ratios of EPS beads (

Effectiveness of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Beads Size on Fly Ash Properties
International Journal of Geosynthetics and Ground Engineering, 2020The present study focused on laboratory investigation of fly ash mixed with expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads. Different sizes of EPS beads were mixed with fly ash to study the effect on maximum dry unit weight, cohesion, angle of internal friction, California bearing ratio (CBR) value, coefficient of consolidation, and permeability.

Deformation characteristics and creep behaviour of rigid particulates-EPS beads composites
Geosynthetics InternationalThe compression behaviour of the mixture of glass beads (representing rigid particles) and EPS beads (representing deformable particles) during the loading-unloading process is systematically examined through performing two sets of large-size oedometer experiments, including incremental step-by-step and one-step loading scenarios.

Concrete Bricks Manufactured Using EPS Beads with Steel Fibers
International Review of Civil Engineering (IRECE), 2021An experimental investigation was conducted to assess the behavior of solid concrete bricks when subjected to compressive loading. Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) concrete was added along with steel fibers to produce solid concrete brick units. Solid concrete bricks were prepared and tested after being classified into four groups according to the ratio of ...

Dynamic properties of sand-EPS bead mixtures
Geosynthetics International, 2018Soils modified with Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) beads are typically used as lightweight mixtures to solve many geotechnical challenges. In seismically active areas, understanding the relationship between dynamic properties and strain levels of such mixtures is important for geotechnical applications. The aim of the study is to evaluate the shear modulus
