The shear modulus and shear strength of extruded polystyrene foam were obtained by the in-plane shear and asymmetric four-point bending tests. In addition, the test data were numerically analysed, and the effectiveness of these tests was examined. The numerical and experimental results suggest that the shear modulus and shear strength obtained from the in-plane shear test are significantly smaller than those obtained from the asymmetric four-point bending test because the influence of the stress concentration was less significant. Although the in-plane shear test is standardised in ASTM C273/C273M-11, it is considerable to adopt the asymmetric four-point bending test as another candidate for obtaining the shear properties of extruded polystyrene foam.
