13-5 behavior has been observed in recent full-scale shake-table tests performed in Japan. CONCEPTUAL ISSUES Two conceptual issues that require further consideration are: • Revise the design methodology presented herein for EPS-block geofoam in roadway embankments to utilize Load and Resistance Factor Design (LFRD)
