Investigation of Elastic Parameters and Pavement Modeling With Eps Geofoam
<p>Models using EPS geofoam rely on input elastic parameters derived from compression tests on small size samples. Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are parameters required to model isotropic and homogenous material behavior. For the most widely used EPS density grade of 20 Kg/m3 (1.25 pcf), …

Effect of Confinement and Temperature on the Behavior of EPS Geofoam
<p>EPS geofoam blocks underlying compacted soil and structural loads become subjected to multi-axial loading. Effects of confining pressure on the stress-strain behavior of EPS geofoam have been investigated in previous studies. Some studies found increases in confining stress lead to corresponding …

Integral bridge abutment and backfill behaviour
… a final centrifuge investigation, the ability of EPS geofoam to mitigate earth pressure escalation was examined by simulating the placement of a 1.2 m thick block of material between the abutment and backfill of the reference configuration. The compressible inclusion reduced pressure build-up …
