INTERIM DESIGN GUIDELINE FOR EPS-BLOCK GEOFOAM IN SLOPE STABILIZATION AND REPAIR (2009)

This paper presents an interim design guideline for the use of expanded polystyrene (EPS)-block geofoam 4 for slope stabilization and repair based on the National Cooperative Highway Research Program 5 (NCHRP) Project 24-11(02) Phase I study. The overall objective of this research is to develop a design 6 guideline as well as an appropriate material and construction standard for the use of EPS-block geofoam 
7 for the function of lightweight fill in slope stability applications. The recommended interim design 8 methodology is based on an assessment of existing technology and literature.
