Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a polymeric material whose low density and high
strength/density ratio has made it renowned to be used as a lightweight geosynthetic in the …

Partial replacement of conventional stabilizers with environmentally-friendly and sustainable
materials has recently turned out to be a common approach to enhance the strength and …

The current study aims to assess the influence of EPS beads inclusion on the strength
properties of stabilized poorly-graded sands. Various contents of zeolite and cement as …

The influence of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads inclusion on the shear stiffness of a
quartz-based material and a calcareous-based material has been examined by performing a …

We examined the compression behaviour of aggregate-expanded polystyrene (EPS)
granular composites using large-size oedometer tests measuring directly the coefficient of …

Recycled rubber in granulated form is a promising geosynthetic material to be used in
geotechnical/geo-environmental engineering and infrastructure projects, and it is typically …

The supporting mechanism of a rigid-flexible composite retaining structure (RFCRS) is
investigated by the discrete element method (DEM) using the rolling resistance linear …

In this study, a series of strain-controlled cyclic triaxial as well as bender element tests are
carried out, so that the dynamic properties of mixtures of sand and expanded polystyrene …

Abstract Compressibility of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) beads in mixtures of sand and EPS
beads is considered by discrete element modeling of beads as clumps of particles bonded …

The mixture of sand-expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads has emerged as an alternative
seismic isolation geomaterial due to its high compressibility and energy absorption capacity …
