A Review of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Properties, Performance and New Applications
1997For over thirty years expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation products have been utilized and accepted by the construction industry as cost effective insulation for roof, wall and foundation applications. During the last several years a number of innovative applications utilizing EPS have been developed which provide creative and cost effective solutions

Interface strength behavior of expanded polystyrene EPS geofoam
International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 2013AbstractIn the present investigation, the interface strength behavior of expanded polystyrene EPS geofoam with EPS geofoam and with various other construction materials such as jute geotextile, geogrid, and fly ash are presented. A series of large direct shear tests were conducted with shear box of dimensions 305mm length, 305mm width, and 175mm height.

Compression creep test on expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam
International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 2016Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam is vulnerable to time-dependent creep deformation when a constant magnitude stress level is applied. In the present study, an attempt has been made to understand the behavior of compression creep of EPS geofoam using stress controlled loading frames.

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) geofoam: An introduction to material behavior
Geotextiles and Geomembranes, 1994Abstract The new geosynthetic product category of ‘geofoam’ was proposed in 1992. It encompasses polymeric and non-polymeric foams that are used in geotechnical applications. Geofoams perform functions that traditional geosynthetic products cannot. In addition, geofoams can be used to complement or enhance the function of other geosynthetics.

Mechanical Characterization of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) as a Liner Foam in Motorcycle Helmets
2020 27th National and 5th International Iranian Conference on Biomedical Engineering (ICBME), 2020Helmet is the most effective personal protective equipment for motorcyclists that can significantly reduce the risk of skull fracture and traumatic brain injuries. The performance of the helmets is evaluated using a drop-weight impact tower test. Due to restrictions to access the drop tower test assembly in many low-income countries, evaluation of ...

Shear strength and modulus of elasticity of expanded polystyrene (EPS)
2010Lietuviška santrauka. Polistireninis putplastis (EPS) daugiasluoksnėse pastatų atitvarose gali būti veikiamas šlyties įtempių. Kadangi EPS užtikrina visos konstrukcijos stabilumą, tai būtina tiksliai įvertinti šlyties įtempių poveikį termoizoliaciniam konstrukciniam polistireninio putplasčio sluoksniui.

Assessment of strength under compression of expanded polystyrene (EPS) slabs
2016The data obtained in testing expanded polystyrene (EPS) slabs subjected to short-term compression are discussed. The results demonstrated that the compressive strength of the slabs should be determined according to critical stress taking into account the type of deformations shown in the stress-strain diagram.
