I am looking for any reference or available information on the allowable bond stress used to design the embedment of steel wire, rod or bar into lightweight foam concrete and/or procedures used to design the embedment of steel wire, rod or bar into lightweight concrete. My particular interest is...
Is your application limited to GeoFoam (EPS) or can you use Lightweight Foam Concrete. If you can use lightweight foam concrete I have some information that may be useful regarding the transfer of lateral forces between lifts of this material.

The air injected lightweight concrete you are referring to might otherwise be referred to as lightweight foam concrete. This product has been installed in Europe by a company named VOTON International. In the United States the installer is AJ VOTON LLC (ph#708-681-1300). It is a very useful...
Small diameter grouted piles (mini-piles, micro-piles) can be used in limestone and can be reinforced to achieve relatively high capacities. FHWA also has a manual describing the design procedures for these piles, including bond capacities for the sockets in various types of rock.
Geogrids over soft soils to construct an embankment can be very difficult. An alternative solution may be to use a lightweight foam concrete material to construct the embankment. This material is self supporting and generally has unit weights (strengths) of 25 to 40 pcf (40 to 100 psi), which...
Geofoam or Foam Concrete has been used as a structural lightweight fill for foundations and highway projects. Typically you would specify a compressive strength, unit weight, shear strength of the material required to support the estimated loads. If you are talking about soft soils, these would...
I have successfully installed retaining structures supporting a 1:1 slope using tiebacks/soldier beam construction methods. Is this an option you are considering.
Typically MSE walls materials only are about $12 to $13 per square foot. This is for the panels and hardware. You must include the installation of the MSE materials, furnish and installing the backfill behind the MSE. There are different types of backfill ranging from aggregate to lightweight...
