    Modelling Initial Elastic Modulus of Sand-EPS Mixtures Using Evolutionary Polynomial Regression
    39th National Congress and 4th International Congress of Earth Sciences
    Investigated the use of expanded polystyrene (EPS) in soil stabilization, developing an EPR-based model to predict the initial elastic modulus of sand-EPS composites through triaxial compression tests, and conducted sensitivity and parametric analyses to understand the impact of confining pressure and EPS content on compressibility behavior.
