Numerical modeling of EPS geofoam used with swelling soil
The cost associated with damage due to swelling soils is more than double the cost associated with damage from floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes. This paper illustrates the numerical modeling of block molded expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam, used as a compressible inclusion between expansive soils and a retaining structure. In several hypothetical cases, the reduction on the transmitted lateral pressures on a retaining structure is determined with different thicknesses of EPS. The reduction on the transmitted lateral pressures are compared with the reduction of granular backfill.
