    4th International Conference

    on
    Geofoam Blocks in Construction Applications

    2011
    NORWAY

    6.- 8. June 2011


    Thon Hotel Arena, Lillestrøm,
    Norway

    Conference aim
    Geofoam blocks as a lightweight fill material
    Since 1972 blocks of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) have been used as a
    lightweight fill material for road construction purposes in Norway. Later a
    variety of applications have been added for Civil Engineering purposes in
    general and there is a marked increase in the use of such applications on a
    global scale. Research activities are carried out in several countries for
    further enhancement of material knowledge and application methods.

    The aim of the conference is to gather both users and non-users of Geofoam
    blocks in order to exchange knowledge about the method through
    presentation of research results, new applications and case histories.
