Abstract
In this paper, the compressive creep behavior of an expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam was investigated by an accelerated creep test called the stepped isothermal method (SIM). In addition, the temperature effect on the compressive strength was evaluated. The data showed that at 44°C the slope of strength versus temperature changed rather abruptly. The results of such change led to a significant increase in the creep rate. Based on the current data, the applicability of SIM on EPS geofoam is uncertain and further investigation is recommended.
