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.

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.
