Abstract:
The weight of fill above shallow tunnels and other external loads represent problem in design of tunnels and increase stresses on it. Soil which used as a fill above tunnels can be replaced by a light weight and compressed material such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) Geofoam to achieve static stability by reducing the acting load rather than increase the tunnel stiffness. This research used the local Geofoam to reduce loads on shallow tunnels.The material properties of locally Geofoam a unavailable .
