Modification of Asphalt Binder with Waste Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Foam
Celal Bayar Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi, 2021 Waste polymers are widely used in asphalt modification, especially, in order to reduce their detrimental effect on the environment. This study discusses the usability of waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam in asphalt modification. In this respect, the EPS foam, which produces waste in both production and use stages, was mixed with bitumen by weight ...

Assessment of Strength under Compression of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Slabs
Materials Science, 2004 The 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.

A simple microplastic splitter for subsampling expanded polystyrene particles
MethodsX, 2023 With the high number of microplastic-like particles captured by net hauls including manta or neuston nets, it is often required to subsample in order to decrease sample volume for microplastic enumeration and analysis.

The experimental investigation of behaviour of expanded polystyrene (EPS)
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020 Abstract Low-strength substrates and anthropogenic soils are always an issue in civil engineering. Based on the soil layer types, several methods could be used to improve the basic/foundation layer however it would be difficult to make sure if the specified requirements are achieved.

Application of expanded polystyrene (EPS) in buildings and constructions: A review [PDF]
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2019 ABSTRACTExpanded polystyrene (EPS) is one of the building material capable of enhancing the design and structural integrity of the building. Since its recognition as conventional insulating material in 1950s, EPS has been experiencing swift progress in other new implementations.

Journal of Civil Engineering, Science and Technology, 2016 Foam concrete is a type of lightweight concrete. The main characteristics of foam concrete are its low density and thermal conductivity. Its advantages are that there is a reduction of dead load, faster building rates in construction and lower haulage and handling costs.
