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 …

This paper presents four key developments that are leading to the scalability of the
fabrication processes of mycelium material. We develop a biological and digital fabrication …

Pavement structures constructed on the expansive soil subgrade experience a higher
upward pressure compared to any other subgrade material. The upward pressure is caused …

Geosynthetic materials are a sustainable solution for pavement applications, but this
depends on the materials and their application. Geosynthetics are artificial materials used in …

The expanded polystyrene foam is widely used as a protective material in engineering
applications where energy absorption is critical for the reduction of harmful dynamic loads …

The application of geofoam buffers in nailed walls to reduce lateral earth pressure on the
retaining wall facing is investigated in this study. The research focuses on the efficiency of …

In design, internal stability of EPS lightweight fills are provided either by applying load
distributing mechanisms (thick pavements or concrete slabs) or using more strong …

This paper presents the behavioral results of a large-scale experimental EPS block
embankment under different test and load conditions. The experimental embankment was …

The cyclic swell-shrink behavior of expansive soils poses formidable challenges to both rigid
and flexible structures within pavement engineering, necessitating effective mitigation …

Under the condition of a 'dual-purpose diaphragm wall', the stress states and deformation
laws are quite different from theoretical calculation results, the transfer and distribution law of …
