Arbet - Styrofoam blocks

In road engineering, expanded polystyrene is used: - to build communication embankments on weak surfaces (peat, mules); - for the construction of traffic embankments next to existing facilities where the foundation foundation cannot be additionally loaded; - to rebuild transport embankments that experience excessive settlements. Replacing part of the soil with polystyrene effectively relieves the ground; - to relieve moving embankments, e.g. landslides; - when widening road embankments embedded in compressible ground. The use of expanded polystyrene in road engineering has initiated a road construction laboratory in Norway. Recent years have seen the development of this technology and mass implementations in many European countries (Norway, France, Sweden). However, in bridge engineering it can be used: - for building light bridge abutments on a weak bearing surface; - for filling the embankment behind the abutments, the ground of which should not be loaded with soil; - to fill the embankment behind the abutments, which cannot be loaded with horizontal soil pressure; - to fill the space above the arch of the arch bridges, e.g. during renovation and upgrading of the road class; - for forming "voids" in massive concrete structures; - for replacing ground backfill with polystyrene and for "unloading" retaining structures overloaded with horizontal forces. In addition, polystyrene is used in concrete works: - to form recesses, nests, furrows, channels or holes in concrete and reinforced concrete structures; - as a single-use form for casting concrete elements or shaping a complex invoice; - for creating space for expansion joints between concrete elements and in protecting buildings against the effects of frost: - for forming an insulating layer that protects soils endangered by frosts; - for thermal drainage protection under slope or slope strengthening (e.g. under the concrete spray of the nailed soil); - for the production of resin-soil-foamed polystyrene mixtures or concrete with foamed polystyrene crumbs as frost-resistant layers. The benefits of using foamed polystyrene in the above applications are measurable. They save time and money ędzy
