Case Studies of EPS Failure and Quality Control by Site Monitoring
EPS 공법의 파괴사례 및 품질관리 개선방안
Abstract
EPS(Expanded Polystyrene) has been used in a variety of applications as a solution of difficult soil conditions encountered in construction activities. Although there has been significant worldwide growth in the use of EPS as a lightweight fill material, it has a few failure cases before and after the construction. This paper described the observed failures of EPS structures up In date around the world. Also, method of quality control was proposed for site monitoring.
