Lightweight concrete with expanded polystyrene (EPS) has been adopted for several
decades. The EPS is to reduce the structural weight of the material for precast and …

Onshore buried steel pipeline infrastructure is a critical component of the fuel supply system.
Pipeline failure due to seismic actions is socially, environmentally, and economically …

There have been many studies that have investigated the behavior of buried corrugated
metal pipes (CMPs) in culvert applications. However, full-scale testing of buried culverts is a …

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) concrete, known for its environmental friendliness, energy
absorption capacity, and low impedance, has significant potential application in the fields of …

The use of thermal insulated decorative panel materials with low thermal conductivity and
high flame retardance is a key step toward energy-saving buildings. However, traditional …

In recent years, much research has focused on the use of various materials for relieving and
strengthening soil, eg, steel reinforcing ribs, geosynthetics, geocell, waste tires, and …

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam is commonly used as lightweight fill materials in wide
range of geotechnical engineering applications including protection of buried utilities and …

This research studied the process of manufacturing horizontal groundwater storage tanks
from steel reinforced polyethylene corrugated pipes. The surfaces, galvanized flat carbon …

This paper reports on a series of static and cyclic plate loading tests performed on a weak
unreinforced sand bed in a test pit. The weak sand was covered by a 160 mm thick layer …

This paper presents an experimental investigation examining the novel idea of employing
curved expanded-Polystyrene (EPS) blocks that arch around the upper section of buried …
