Domestic cooling demands in arid and hot climate regions, including Qatar, induce a
significant challenge to reduce the area's cooling energy consumption and carbon footprint …

In recent decades, there has been a significant rise in the production and consumption of
plastics and polystyrene products (notably Expanded Polystyrene or EPS), and the reuse of …

The suitability of geocell reinforcement in reducing rut depth, surface settlements and/or
pavement cracks during service life of the pavements supported on expanded polystyrene …

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam is a fascinating area in the field of geotechnical
engineering and its service life is comparable to other construction materials. It can be used …

Initial elastic modulus and compressive strength are the two most important engineering
properties for modeling and design of EPS geofoams, which are extensively used in civil …

This study presents a bounding surface plasticity model to capture the stress-strain
responses of expanded polystyrene (EPS)-sand mixture with various EPS content levels …

This study aims to evaluate the dynamic behavior of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) geofoam
in dry, wet, and fully saturated conditions by performing a series of resonant column (RC) …

Domestic cooling requirements in arid and hot climate regions present a substantial
challenge in minimizing energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions, largely due to …

The mechanical property of a novel expanded polystyrene cement-based material (EPS-C),
which was prepared by compressing semi-dry materials molding, was investigated. The …

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) geofoam is ultra-lightweight, closed cell, rigid, plastic foam. It
