Author: Various | Size: 218 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: The Norwegian Public Roads Administration and Tekna | Year: 2011

The Norwegian Public Roads Administration organized the fourth international conference on the use of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) as a lightweight fill material in Civil Engineering practice. The Conference was held on June 6th - 8th 2011 at Lillestrøm, Norway.

Previous conferences have been arranged in Oslo, Norway 1985, Tokyo, Japan 1996 and Salt Lake City, USA 2001.

Conference aim

Geofoam blocks as a lightweight fill material

Since 1972 blocks of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) have been used as a lightweight fill material for road construction purposes in Norway. Later a variety of applications have been added for Civil Engineering purposes in general, and there is a marked increase in the use of such applications on a global scale. Research activities are carried out in several countries for further enhancement of material knowledge and application methods.

The aim of the conference wass to gather both users and non-users of Geofoam blocks in order to exchange knowledge about the method through presentation of research results, new applications and case histories.
