Abstract: A qualitative and quantitative research is conducted on the meso-structure of a novel geo-material—lightweight sand-EPS beads soil (LSES) by a medical CT machine. CT images, average CT value(ME) and SDs for different scanning sections are analyzed under various cement contents(CC) and EPS-bead contents(Ve /Vs). With increasing CC, MEs increase, the structure of LSES become denser, hence the initial damages decrease. whereas when Ve /Vs increases, C-S-H has lower efficiency to coat EPS beads and infill the voids between particles; and Ve /Vs is linear to the MEs in this test. Additionally, due to different SD distribution for sections, LSES is defined as a special structural soil with highly different local void ratio distributions; and CC and Ve /Vs are the major factors influencing its structure.

Key words: lightweight sand-EPS beads soil (LSES), computerized tomography (CT), structure
