Abstract
Using EPS in highways projects as subgrade material requires a substantial understanding of its behavior when subjected to static and cyclic loadings. Several research examples are available up to now regarding this issue, however, the concepts for the latter seems to have been paid less attention due to its complexity and time consuming nature. In an attempt to overcome the shortcomings, several test have been performed to determine the effect of static and cyclic loading on the performance of EPS geofoam. A simple numerical method is also proposed to simulate EPS behavior under cyclic loading. Further research is needed to derive more accurate results.
