The Relevance of Expanded Polystyrene Beads for Ground Improvement: A Review
An expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads are a lightweight synthetic material that is manufactured daily as a packing material. This study describes the engineering and mechanical behavior of the EPS beads under the actions of stress. The influence of size (diameter) and density of EPS beads on a stress–strain behavior have been well explained in the study. The application of EPS beads as geometrial in combination with fly ash, bottom ash, and cement has been discussed briefly in this study. A combination of 0.5% EPS beads with expansive soil reduces swelling pressure and increases the unconfined compressive strength. This study also discussed the relevance of EPS geofoam for ground improvement. EPS geofoam interface behavior with fly ash has been presented in this study. Results suggest that the influence of EPS geofoam density do not have a significant influence on its interface strength behavior. This study helps us understand EPS geofoam unit cell behavior with fly ash embedded in the core and used as a construction material. Field performance of EPS geofoam as infill and material for pavement has been discussed briefly in this study
