Geomechanical Behaviour of Uncemented Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Beads–Clayey Soil Mixtures as Lightweight Fill [PDF]
Geotechnics, 2021 Lightweight fill can be advantageous in embankment construction for the purposes of reducing the (i) bearing pressures on the underlying soil foundation, (ii) destabilizing moments for constructed earthen slopes, and (iii) earth pressures acting behind retaining walls.

Physical and Mechanical Properties of a Bulk Lightweight Concrete with Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Beads and Soft Marine Clay [PDF]
Materials, 2019 The variation of physical and mechanical properties of the lightweight bulk filling material with cement and expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads contents under different confining pressures is important to construction and geotechnical applications. In this study, a lightweight bulk filling material was firstly fabricated with Singapore marine clay ...

The Effect of Adding Expanded Polystyrene Beads (EPS) on Polymer-Modified Mortar
Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research, 2022 This study assessed the efficiency of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) waste as a 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60% substitute for fine aggregate in the manufacturing of lightweight cement composites. A 4% low-cost latex paint emulsion was added to the cement mortar to reinforce it as an alternative to the more expensive polymer admixtures.

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.
