Geofoam design manual

In order to make this knowledge easily accessible, an official Dutch design manual for lightweight pavements with EPS geofoam was published under the auspices of the Center for Research and. This manual provides personnel in design and construction general information on EPS material and proper installation www.doorway.ru Size: KB. What is Geofoam? Geofoam is a lightweight fill in compliance with ASTM D that gives you control over your geotechnical project. Geofoam is engineered to give you the greatest possible control for your project application: from design and timelines, to materials and costs, and — ultimately — control over your results GEOFOAM.

= kPa at 10% strain. Geofoam blocks are produced in vide range of densities and strength characteristics. The term Geofoam is also used in connection with Ex-truded Polystyrene (XPS), but this production process limits the products to board formats. When Geofoam blocks were first used as a lightweight fill mater ial for road con-. This manual provides personnel in design and construction general information on EPS material and proper installation techniques. EPS geofoam can be specified on a single project to maximize savings. For example, higher strength EPS geofoam can be used in high applied stress areas while lower strength blocks are used in areas where the applied stresses are lower. EPS Geofoam design loads are recommended to not exceed the compressive resistance at 1% capacity.

rigorous QA/QC testing. EPS Geofoam Applications Use Road construction over Slope stabilization poor soils Stadium theatre seating Road widening. Polystyrene (EPS) geofoam in construction and geotechnical projects has and design guidelines for asphalt pavements with an EPS geofoam sub-base". Standards and design manuals applicable to EPS are presented. Selected EPS geofoam-engineering applications are discussed with examples.
