Abstract: Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam panels of low stiffness installed vertically against the rigid nonyielding retaining structure provide additional deformations in the backfill. This behavior will lead to the mobilization ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes major findings from a laboratory study based on stress-controlled cyclic uniaxial compression tests with initial deviator stress conducted on expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam. The experiments involved ...
