The Role of Expanded Polystyrene and Geocell in Enhancing the Behavior of Buried HDPE Pipes under Trench Loading Using Numerical Analyses

In recent years, much research has focused on the use of various materials for relieving and strengthening soil, e.g., steel reinforcing ribs, geosynthetics, geocell, waste tires, and expanded polystyrene (EPS). EPS is being used increasingly in geo-infrastructure, being a super-light material, to r...
