Feasibility of Expanded Polystyrene Application in Civil Construction

EPS is a cellular plastic derived from petroleum, which in the compact state, is a rigid, colorless and transparent material. EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) has the following characteristics: fully recyclable; excellent thermal insulation; lightness; aging resistance; chemical resistance; mechanical resistance; moisture resistance; impact damping; versatility and ease of formatting; ease of handling. This study aims to present the feasibility of the application of expanded polystyrene in civil construction and address the use of EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) in roads, highways, slabs, sealing walls, expansion joints and their reuse.
