Effects of EPS Beads on the Unconfined Compressive Strength and Stiffness of Bentonite Soil-Cement Mixture [PDF]

Jurnal Teknik Sipil dan Perencanaan, 2023
Expanded Polystyrene Beads (EPS Beads) have characteristics that are lightweight and low density. However, EPS is waste that does not pollute the soil, but has hundreds of years to decompose, thereby reducing the landfill area.
