Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam has been increasingly used in geotechnical engineering applications to replace conventional backfill material or to reduce earth pressure on retaining and buried structures. In most of these applications, geofoam blocks are installed in direct contact with different construction material (soil, concrete, steel, wood, etc.). This results in a composite system that...
Geofoam has been used in a wide range of geotechnical engineering projects since 1960s; either as lightweight fill material (e.g. embankments and bridge approaches) or as compressible inclusion (e.g. retaining walls and culverts). In most of these projects, geofoam is installed either in direct contact with other geofoam blocks or other construction material. Successful design of these composite systems...
