...L.-L. Wan; W.-L. Zou; X.-Q. Wang; Z. Han Lateral swelling pressures of expansive soils impose significant threats to the stability and safety of retaining structures. Placing a layer of compressible material, such as cohesive non-swelling soil (CNS), expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam...

...H. Kim; A. F. Witthoeft; D. Kim This paper presents a numerical study performed to investigate the compressible inclusion function of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) geofoam panels placed behind a non-yielding rigid wall. EPS geofoam panels placed behind a non-yielding wall can reduce lateral earth...

...S. B. Ikizler; M. Aytekin; M. Vekli In the present study, sand and expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam were evaluated as potential stabilizers in improving the swelling behaviour of bentonite. A comprehensive laboratory experimental programme was conducted on bentonite with a high swelling potential...
