Lateral Pressure Reduction on Earth-Retaining Structures Using Geofoam

A basic yet comprehensive presentation of using the lightweight-fill and compressible-inclusion functions of geofoam to reduce lateral pressures on all types of earth-retaining structures under both gravity and seismic loading. An introduction to using geofoam to reduce vertical earth forces on underground conduits as well as beneath structural slabs on expansive soil and rock is also included.
