Abstract
In 2016, two successive gigantic earthquakes struck the Kumamoto area of Japan, damaging many private residences and some local roads. An EPS embankment in the Mashiki area near the earthquake epicenter also collapsed. In this EPS embankment, the EPS blocks were shifted sideways because of a landslide behind the EPS fill caused by the earthquake. Nevertheless, only part of the embankment collapsed. The road surface was temporarily remediated and was maintained as it was, for the opening of traffic. This case proves that EPS gives rise to great benefits: most importantly, the collapsed EPS road was put into practical use as a temporary road.
