DEFORMATION AND STRENGTH OF EPS-BEADS MIXED SAND

Abstract

To investigate the deformation and strength characteristics of EPS-beads mixed sand, multiple series of laboratory triaxial compression tests were conducted under various values of the volume ratios of Toyoura sandand EPS-beads. In one of the test series, cement was not added, while in the other test series, cement was added.The small-strain properties of Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio were examined in detail under various stress conditions.
