EPS blocks have become an excellent option to be used as landfill on highways due to their low specific weight property (about 1% of the specific weight of the soil) and good mechanical strength (approximately equal to that of a perfectly compacted soil). The use of EPS reduces the weight of the solid set to about 1%, maintaining the mechanical resistance equal to or greater than that of a compacted soil, with the following benefits:
Decrease in overhead to 1%;
Isotropic material;
Eliminates the possibility of washing fines by water;
Volumes already compressed with industrial controls;
Ease, control and speed on the job.
