Abstract

EPS(Expanded Polystyrene) has been used in a variety of applications as a solution of difficult soil conditions encountered in construction activities. Although there has been significant worldwide growth in the use of EPS as a lightweight fill material, it has a few failure cases before and after the construction. This paper described the observed failures of EPS structures up In date around the world. Also, method of quality control was proposed for site monitoring.
