What are the results of the EPS impact assessment method?

The results of the EPS impact assessment method aredamage costs for emissions and use of natural resources expressed as ELU (Environmental Load Units). One ELU represents an externality corresponding to one Euro environmental damage cost. EPS version 2020d is intended to replace earlier versions.

How does EPs affect compressive strength?

The compressive strength of lightweight soil depends on the contents of EPS and cement; it decreases with an increase in the EPS content and increases with an increase in the cement content. Under freeze–thaw cycle conditions, the strength loss rate decreases with an increase in both.

Does EPs content affect shear strength and cohesion?

The shear strength and cohesion decrease with an increase in freeze–thaw cycles and EPS content, and the internal friction angle follows no obvious rule with regard to the increase in freeze–thaw cycles but decreases with an increase in the EPS content.

Do EPs particles improve the frost resistance of lightweight soil?

EPS particles are beneficial for improving the frost resistance of lightweight soil. With an increase in the EPS content, the frost resistance improves, but the EPS content cannot be infinitely increased.

How do EPs particles affect soil chemistry?

EPS particles replace the same volume of soil cement particles, the biting force between soil particles reduces, the contact and friction between particles reduce, (24) and the internal friction angle reduces.
