1.4 Introduction to Geosynthetics in Brief

Geosynthetics have been widely used for geotechnical and environmental applications globally for the past four decades. New products and applications are routinely developed globally to provide solutions to routine and critical problems. Over the years, these products have helped Design Engineers to solve various types of engineering challenges where the use of conventional materials would be restricted or considerably more expensive. There is a significant number of Geosynthetic types and applications, common types of Geosynthetics used for soil reinforcement include geotextiles, Geogrids and Geocells. A wide variety of Geosynthetic products can be used in environmental protection including Geomembranes, Geomats, Geonets, Geocomposites and Geopipes. Geocomposites are Geosynthetics made from a combination of two or more Geosynthetic types. Examples include: geotextile Geonet; Geotextile Geogrid; Geonet Geomembrane; or a Geosynthetic clay line (GCL). Geopipes are perforated or solid-wall polymeric pipes used for drainage of liquids or gas. Geosynthetics are also used to mitigate: erosion, slope failure, poor bearing capacity, etc. Construction of Geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining walls (GRS RWs) and Geosynthetic-reinforced steep slopes of embankments has become popular in Asia (e.g., Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and India), following pioneering works in Europe and North America. Among the technologies used to construct these numerous Geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures in Asia, a couple of unique ones that were developed in this region are reported herein.

2.6 Overview of the Kenya Road Design Manual and the Standard Specifications for Road & Bridge Works
2.6.1 Road Design Manual The Road Design Manual under Chapter 4 (Earthworks), Section 4.2 (Embankments), Subsection 4.2.3 Fill material, paragraph 4, suggests that if no other earthwork materials are available then a fully flexible pavement on these embankments will be most suitable. If for reasons of traffic category a pavement incorporating rigid or semi-rigid layers is necessary (asphalt, bituminous macadam, lean concrete, concrete cement, lime stabilized or improved gravels, it is suggested that the problem may be overcome by incorporating a slippage layer which will stop the cracks being transferred through the pavement. A suitable slippage layer will comprise the placing of a layer of polythene sheeting at the top of the subgrade earthworks, and laying a thin lower sub-base of sand or crushed dust, before the sub-base. Under 5 (Drainage and Erosion Control) Section 5.2 (Drainage of Ground water) Subsection 5.2.2 (Drainage Remedies, b (subsoil drains) paragraph 3 states if surrounding ground is likely to squeeze or wash into the free-draining material, Filter Protection is required. This can be achieved by placing filter material as free-draining material in the trench. And further in paragraph 4 of the same section states it is important that the pipe be surrounded by appropriate filter material to prevent fines from clogging the openings. A non-woven geo-fabric of an approved type may be placed around the draining material to prevent silt or fine particles from being washed into it. It may also be useful to place non-woven geo-fabric around the pipe. The effective pore size of the fabric should comply with filter criteria defined in the same section. Where the flow of water is small and where nonwoven geo-fabric is placed around the draining material, it may be unnecessary to place a pipe. Under item c of the same section (blanket drains) Non-woven geo-fabric may also be used to prevent fines from blocking the draining layer. Protection by filter layers or non-woven Geofabric may be required on both sides of the blanket drain. And in section d (seepage remedies) Geofabrics can also be used. 2.6.2 Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (1986) The Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (1986), under Clause 507 (Rockfill to Swamps) paragraph 2 which states where instructed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall place a filter fabric (terram or similar approved) under or around the rockfill. When placing the rockfill onto or in the filter fabric the Contractor shall ensure that the filter fabric is not punctured or damaged in any way. Where the filter fabric is placed around the rockfill the final layer of rockfill shall be blinded with gravel so as to present a smooth surface to receive the filter fabric. The filter fabric shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Where instructed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall first excavate unsuitable material and then place and embed rockfill on and into the underlying material, or a filter fabric if specified by the Engineer. Clause 517 (measurement and payment) Section K (item: filter fabric under, over or around rockfill defines the unit as m2 of each weight of fabric specified and specifies that; the filter fabric placed under, over or around rockfill shall be measured as the net area of filter fabric instructed. Further, the rate for filter fabric shall include for the cost of preparation of the surface to receive the filter fabric, the provision, transport, storing and laying the fabric in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, all 9 Chapter 2 Appreciation and Interpretation of RFP | Kensetsu Kaihatsu Limited

laps and/or stitching and for complying with Clause 506 (Swamps) and 507 (Rockfill to Swamps) of the same standard specification. Under Clause 507 (Rockfill to Swamps) paragraph 2 specifies; where instructed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall place a filter fabric (Terram or similar approved) under or around the rockfill. When placing the rockfill onto or in the filter fabric, the Contractor shall ensure that the filter fabric is not punctured or damaged in anyway, where the filter fabric is placed around the rockfill the final layer of rockfill shall be blinded with gravel so as to present a smooth surface to receive the filter fabric. The filter fabric shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Where instructed by the Engineer the Contractor shall first excavate unsuitable material and then place and embed rockfill on and into the underlying material, or on a filter fabric if specified by the Engineer.

4.2 Study Objectives and Approach

4.2.1 Basic analysis The objectives of the Study are stipulated under Item 2 of Section 5 of this RFP, which address the Terms of Reference (TOR). The Study objectives are:(i) Development of design procedures, construction specifications and quality control systems for Geosynthetics reinforced embankments and pavements. (ii) Performance evaluation of RE walls constructed under Nairobi - Thika Project and design of monitoring programmes. Essentially, according to the Consultants interpretation, the RFP requires the design of a research regime that is primarily aimed at developing construction and performance Specifications for Geosynthetics reinforced Geomaterials for road embankments and pavement structures in particular, including design procedures and quality control systems as well as evaluation regimes and procedures for evaluating the performance of existing geo-structures and retaining walls. From a global perspective the methods of design, construction, quality control systems and performance specifications should ensure that the procedures and techniques are pragmatically applicable and; 1. Cost and time effective predominated with a Value Engineering (VE) component. 2. State of the Art so that they are applicable to inclusion in the Road Design Manual (K) and Standard Specifications. 3. Are particularly tailored for tropical environmental conditions within the East and Central Africa Region. 4. Satisfactorily innovative enough to provide a useful basis for developing alternative and more effective stabilization techniques for Geomaterials, new engineering products, more cost-effective concepts, methods of design and construction techniques which are also environmentally friendly. 5. Provide engineering indicators for quality control, monitoring and evaluation of performance of Geostructures.
4.2.2 Brief background of Necessity of Consultancy Services

Comprehensive testing to determine the physical and mechanical index properties of Geogrids such as isotropic stiffness ratio, junction efficiency, radial stiffness (secant modulus), response to various chemicals, temperature effects, torsional rigidity, load transfer capability, and aperture stability modulus have been undertaken. Numerous Case Study Analyses have also been carried out yielding impressive results for a few well manufactured reinforcement Geogrids. Nevertheless, experimentally based scientific and engineering theories, concepts and principles that delineate the soil particleGeogrid interaction that would enable the stipulation of a pragmatic Performance Based Specification have yet to be clearly established. As a consequence, it is difficult for the Design Engineer to quantitatively determine the actual contribution and performance of the Geogrid, in terms of initial engineering parameters, within the composite pavement structure. This 33 Technical Proposal for Consultancy Services | Kensetsu Kaihatsu Limited

makes it impossible for the Design Engineer, Employer/Client and Contractor to compute the actual cost-savings that can be realized as a result of using Geogrids in comparison to other methods of soil improvement/stabilization. Furthermore, hardly any research has been undertaken to establish the progressive interlock mechanism with the increase in degree of compaction/consolidation in relation to the physical nature and configuration of the Geogrid for various Geomaterials. 4.2.3 Consultants Interlinking Matrix of Approach to Services

It is currently under rehabilitation undertaken by H. Young & Co Ltd. The road was constructed between 1990 and 1993 and since then only minor and routine maintenance has been carried out. The most prevalent pavement defects are rutting, potholes and cracking. During the initial construction in the early 90s, Geogrids were used on trial basis at KM 24+000. The performance of that section in comparison to the rest can be technically stated as superior since there are relatively no signs of defects at that stretch. At the border, there is lack of parking bays for the transit lorries that ferry goods to Uganda the rest of East and Central African countries like Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, DRC Congo. This has resulted in distinct road defects.

4.6.3.3 Basis and Considerations of tests I. Basic definition of Performance Based Design Performance Based Design (PBD) fundamentally entails that, deformation in ground and foundation soils along with reciprocal structural deformation and stress states be comprehensively analyzed by adopting sophisticated methods, particularly for structures with high exposure to seismic activity. In this regard therefore, it is of extreme importance to evaluate the pavement as a composite structure. Consequently, the testing regime is designed such that the role and degree of contribution by the Geosynthetic in enhancing the mechanical stability, strength, bearing capacity, deformation resistance, structural capacity, durability, stress distribution, stress intensity and secondary consolidation properties of the composite structure, can be measured quantitatively in order to clearly define the qualitative properties. Comprehensive analysis of such data would then enable the pragmatic proposal of Performance Based Specification for Geosynthetics in terms of the minimum qualitative properties required as their contribution in enhancing the geotechnical engineering properties of the composite structure. 48 Technical Proposal for Consultancy Services | Kensetsu Kaihatsu Limited

December 1, 2011
II. Particular Considerations in Relation to Soil-Geogrid Interaction In particular, the following fundamental considerations were made in order to determine the scientific and engineering basis for the soil-Geosynthetic interaction in relation to the role and degree of contribution of the Geosynthetic within the pavement structure; which would, as a result, define its qualitative properties and vital physical and mechanical features. 1. Mechanical function of the grid structure characterized by the strength of the junctions and stiffness of the ribs as essential features in the interlock mechanism. 2. Correlation between effective mechanical interlock and; a. strength and rigidity of junctions b. efficiency of junctions c. thickness of ribs d. geometry of aperture 3. Correlation between degree of interlock and magnitude of lateral movement, constraining stress, and dilation of aggregate particles. 4. Effect of strength and rigidity of junctions, thickness of ribs and geometry of Geosynthetic in the mobilization of the effective angle of shearing resistance and confining stress. 5. Degree of contribution of the combined Geosynthetic features in Geosynthetic reinforced layers in relation to, a) tensile load magnitude b) magnitude of impacted deflections c) magnitude of strain under working load d) extent of reinforcement benefit e) eccentricity of loaded area and load concentration in relation to point of loading f) degree and rate of bonding between Geogrid and Geomaterial g) rate and degree of tensioning under loading as a function of deformation resistance h) rate and degree of rutting under loading as a function of deformation resistance i) stress distribution j) stress intensity k) direction of lateral stress concentration l) degree of enhanced performance of composite pavement structure m) magnitude and effects of pre-straining/pre-stressing n) effective structural thickness of the composite pavement structure o) vibrational mode and intensity p) axis of vibration in a 3D plane 6. Strength and Deformation characteristics under Critical State conditions will be studied in reference to: a) Exposure in extremely harsh conditions with drastic temperature variations heating/freezing. b) Direct loading by construction equipment during pavement structural rehabilitation causing some damage to the Geosynthetic i.e. deformed ribs, punched nodes and twisted Geosynthetic geometry (torsional). 49 Technical Proposal for Consultancy Services | Kensetsu Kaihatsu Limited

II. Soaking Conditions for OBRM Specimens Basically two conditions of soaking shall be adopted namely; Soaked and Unsoaked. However, in order to simulate characteristics of partially saturated pavement structures, which would be the case in most areas, some partially soaked specimens will be tested as well. Soaked specimen Unsoaked specimen Partially-soaked specimen : Tested after 4 days soak whereby the specimen shall be fully immersed in temperature controlled water at 20~25C : Tested within 10 minutes of molding. : In this case various specimens shall be soaked until they attain 25%, 50%, or 75% Degree of Saturation. In order to determine the Degree of Saturation as accurately as possible, trials will be made to determine the appropriate soaking period for each saturation level and varying material as schematically depicted in Figure 4.4. The weight of each representative specimen for every varying material shall be measured at designated time intervals and the degree of saturation computed there from in percentage.

VI. Simulation of Critical State of Geogrids Simulation of the performance of Geogrids when subjected to critical state conditions such as damage caused by harsh climatic and environmental conditions, subsurface chemicals, construction traffic, deformed ribs, punched nodes and twisted geometry will also be performed on a number of specimens from various tests. Examples of the schematics of the deformed Geogrids are shown in Figure 4.7.
Figure 4.7 Example of Schematic Representation of deformed Geogrids
VII. Modes of Loading Two main modes of loading will be applied; static and dynamic. The static loading will predominantly be monotonic for both the UCS and CUTC tests whilst the dynamic loading will be vibrational in the laboratory applying a 750w loading rate and 66N vibrating hammer weight that provides 2800 impacts per minute and satisfies BS1377 and BS1924 Standards. For in-situ testing, the TRL Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) and the Benkelman Beam Deflection Testing shall be adopted. For both modes of loading (static and dynamic), continuous single loading and multiple stage loading shall be employed. Multiple loading stages shall be employed in synchronization with the number of Geogrid embedment depicted in subsection 4.6.3.4 IV and as depicted in Figure 4.8.

5.3.2 Proposed Tasks Management System The proposed sequential tasks management system is depicted in Figure 5.1. A reciprocity concept is applied in ensuring proper correlation of the tasks to facilitate for solid assignment integration management based on advanced time and logistics management of the assignment tasks, the time durations indicated in Table 5.3 in the preceding sub-section, have been taken into consideration as one of the main input parameters. In order to achieve time savings, logistical coordination is carefully examined.
5.4 Mode of Task Implementation

In developing the optimum mode of task implementation, the Consultant takes into consideration and correlates the structure, composition and level of expertise and discipline of his team to the tasks and consultancy services required by the Client. As shown in Table 5.3 and Figure 5.3, each individual staff is assigned a number of tasks which fall within his field of expertise and capacity of execution. The Team Leader, however, is expected to oversee and effectively manage all staff and tasks whilst executing his professional duties accordingly.
5.5 Main Tasks/Work Schedule

5.5.1 Main Task/Work Schedule The main Task/Work Schedule is presented in Figure 5.2 in the Form T8 format. The Consultant in consultation with the Client will identify the works to be prioritized and produce a Schedule of Works that will include exact locations by chainage and items of study as per the TOR of the RFP and based on initial site survey findings, give a breakdown by activity definition, activity sequencing, and activity duration estimation. The results will be summarized as activity list, work breakdown structure, project network, activity duration estimates for preparation of the project scheduling by computer software e.g. Microsoft Project 2010, Prince, etc. The Consultant plans to employ The Project Manager and equivalent software to find the Critical Path and control of progress as well as budget control.

A4: Example of Method of Geosynthetically Reinforced Pavement Structural Design (4.6.6) Item 3.1 c) on the Scope of the Study on page 42 of the RFP makes a requirement, as one of the assignment tasks, of developing design procedures. The fundamental objective of the Study, as stipulated in item 2(i) of the TOR requires the same. The Consultant therefore considers this as one of the most integral outputs as he has derived and depicted at the end of Figure 4.2 preceding Sub-section 4.6.1 of this chapter. In consideration of the foregoing therefore, the Consultant shall endeavour to modify, improve and enhance the Comprehensive Method of Design (CMD), which they proposed in 2007 at the 23rd World Road Congress in Paris and the 14th African regional Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical engineering held in Yaounde, Cameroon in the same year. The CMD, depicted in Figure 4.12, has been modified and applied in the design of Geosynthetically reinforced pavement structures in the Isiolo Airport Project in the Isiolo Town of Meru County in Eastern State of the Republic of Kenya as well as Geosynthetically reinforced embankment and foundation geostructures for oil exploration activities in the Jonglei State of Southern Sudan.

A6 Example of Innovatively Developed Quality Control Procedures [4.6.8] Some of the Quality Control (QC) methods developed by the Consultant are presented below. A6-1 Preamble
Measured and field data collection would certainly serve no purpose if appreciable accuracy and confidence levels are not achieved. Accurate and precise definition of the boundary limits of specification control can prove to be costly if they are not properly considered or tailored for a specific project. The basic principles of some of the main quality control methods developed by the Author previously on other project modified to suit the design and construction specification requirements for the Addis Ababa~ Goha Tsion Project are briefly introduced in the subsequent sections. Numerous other interpretive methodologies, which are not introduced in this Report, have also been developed.
A6-2 Plasticity Materials (Crushed Aggregates)

This method of correction takes into account the reciprocal relation between water content (wc), density () and degree of compaction (Dc). For low plasticity materials whereby PI < 6, the following generalized quasi-empirical equations may be applied.
u wcf l wc nwf xC' xC w x w opt l wc Dcs Dcm / 100
(A6.1)

Laboratory, n wf = Constant derived from the relation between moisture content,

w
L cf
l wc nwf xC' xC w w opt 1 l wc Dcs Dcm / 100
(A6.2)
L wcf defines the moisture content correction factor for Dc < 100.
The corrected Degree of Compaction ( Dc

A6-5 Quantitative Method of Evaluating Effect of Paving at Varying Grades of Slope

In developing the method of evaluating effect of paving construction in negative upgrade slope, the factors in Box 4A were taken into consideration.
Box 4A Factors to Consider when Developing Method of Evaluating Effect of Paving Construction 1. Segregation of particles, flow characteristics, non-homogeneity, contact pressure vibrational force, consistency, tractive force, sliding, Imperfect compaction, non-uniform thickness, impact on density, structural deficiency, differential deformation, localized flow and plastic failure. 2. Premature failure (cracking or micro-cracking), non-uniform inter-particle stress distribution, development and propagation of internal localized shear planes were also analyzed in relation to particle size, distribution, viscosity of bitumen, temperature, spreading rate, and state of inter-particle contact within a bituminous medium.

A6-6 Example of Development of Preliminary Performance Based Specifications An example of the parameter and specification mode for performance-based specifications is given under Sub-section 1.2.2 of Chapter 2 of this technical Proposal. A6-7 Example of Maintenance Procedures Proposed The Consultant has, over the years, developed, proposed and applied unique methods of predicting levels and quality of the maintenance required for pavement structures.

A7-2 Evaluation and Monitoring of Retaining Walls During a road and bridges rehabilitation programme under Grant Aid funding by the Government of Japan, slope failure occurred at a stretch around Sta. 9+310km from the city centre of Addis Ababa along the Addis Ababa~Goha Tsion~Debre Markos International Trunk road traversing through the Blue Nile, and which forms an integral part of the all-important north-western corridor connecting to the western part of The Sudan, whilst branching off to the east towards Gonder to the Eriterian border. As a result, longitudinal cracks were prevalent within the asphalt concrete and significant shear failure occurred right through the pavement structure and subgrade as can be seen in Figures 1 and 2. Due to environmental and financial constraints it became imperative that a cost-effective method, utilizing locally available material as much as possible, be developed. Various countermeasures including the reinforcement of the slope embankment, construction of retaining wall, reduction of gradient of slope, improvement of subsurface drainage conditions, blanket and loading works etc. were preliminarily considered. It was concluded that the most cost-effective research based method be determined to ensure that; 1) a substantial proportion of the shear strength would be retained notwithstanding increased saturation and/or pore pressure levels; 2) tremendous reduction in the deflection of the surface and layers under loading be achieved; 3) resistance to erosion due to scouring be reduced; 4) resistance to contamination by materials in the underlying or supporting layers be substantially increased; and, 5) the effective elastic properties of the composite pavement structure be drastically increased.

Tool 16 is included in Appendix V-III.16 of Volume III of this Technical Proposal. A7-3 Comprehensive Analysis and Characterization of RE-Retaining Walls Interaction During the proposed assignment, the Consultant intends to apply the state of the art engineering principles and concepts as well as recently developed scientific theories and geo-mathematical models to undertake comprehensive analysis and characterization of the RE-Retaining Walls interaction for the geo-structures to be investigated along Thika Road. Some of the Tools that will be applied are presented in Tool 17 of Appendix V-III.17 of this Technical Proposal.

Example of Consultants Relevant Experience in Developing Monitoring and Evaluation Systems & Programmes
Abstract Under The Emergency Study on The Planning And Support for Basic Infrastructure in Juba and The Surroundings in South Sudan, a Project which was implemented under the Japanese Grant Aid through the Japan International Cooperation Agency(JICA), Juba River Port Access Road was designed and constructed as part of the Port Development Pilot Project. Sophisticated State of the Art engineering concepts and principles were employed during the study, to realize model design and method of construction as part of introducing appropriate technologies in Southern Sudan in order to foster rapid sustainable infrastructure development. OPMC stabilization and the Recap Methods, which realized cost savings of approximately 40% on the pavement layer components (base and sub-base courses) were employed in the construction. Due to the culture of overloading in Developing Countries and Africa in particular, coupled with the fact that the Juba River Port would be the main entry point and landing hub for bulk goods into South Sudan, a country which still has limited land transportation network and facilities, the Design ESAL was determined at a higher value of 14.25 106 (Traffic Class T7 of the TRL Road Note 31). Postconstruction comprehensive monitoring, evaluation and analysis were undertaken, whereof the Case Study Analysis (CSA) is reported herein. The results of the Case Study Analysis indicate that the OPMC and Recap Methods were effective in containing the deformation of the heavily loaded pavement structure constructed on the partially improved Black Cotton Soil (BCS). Introduction The Juba River Port Access Road traverses areas that are predominantly overlain with BCS within swampy stretches. During the implementation of the stated Emergency Project, it was necessary to adopt cost-effective methods of improving the existing ground for purposes of reducing the quantities that would be required for the upper pavement layers (subbase and base courses) mainly due to lack of suitable road construction materials within reasonable haulage distances. Full-fledged field experimental sections with three varying pavement structural configurations were designed and implemented as shown in Figures A8-a ~ A8-c.

Destructuration caused by remolding (reconstitution) Reconstitution of natural clays results in total remolding and destructuration of the vital structural components, fabric, diagenetic properties, inherent anisotropy and transformation to enhanced rheological behavior of otherwise well cemented and highly structured clays. On the other hand, road construction materials are, in practically all cases, always remolded prior to use. Furthermore, since most of the existing theories and models that define deformation and strength characteristics of clays are based on remolded clays, extensive study of this subject to facilitate for the necessary modification of such constitutive models is certainly vital. In this analysis, a Destructuration Index, which defines the degree of destructuration as a result of persistent heavy dynamic and/or seismic loading, is introduced as: (MPa) (21)
where, is the initial shear modulus of the intact ground and is the initial shear modulus determined from CUTC/CDTC laboratory tests performed on specimens reconstituted from the original clayey Geomaterial. The corresponding elastic yield strain is determined as: (%) (22)

Summary of some Case Study Analysis Results A summary of some of the results of the Case Study Analysis is presented in Table 2. It can be noted that Type II-3 pavement structure exhibits the most superior geotechnical engineering parameters, whilst Type II-1 is most susceptible to moisture changes. On the other hand, Table 3 summarizes the analytical results that show the influence of particle agglomeration on strength and deformation resistance as a result of time dependent cementation and consolidation, the characteristics of which are depicted in Figure 4 for the base course layer. It can be observed that particle agglomeration and consolidation effects are more predominant in the base course layers that were stabilized by applying the OPMC technology (Type II-2 and Type II-3).

In-situ Modeling of Response of Varying Pavement Structural Configurations The behavior of the three types of varying pavement structures was modeled by using the GECPROM [5]. Basically, for Type II-2 and Type II-3 pavement structures, the initial phase of loading is seen to progressively enhance intrinsic particle agglomeration (ref. to Eqs. 9 ~ 13), and secondary consolidation as a result of the heavy traffic loading (ref. to Figures 4 and 6).

Elastic Stiffness (MPa)

Figure A8-d: Variation in a) UCS and b) elastic stiffness with pavement layer quality-measured/predicted
It can be derived from these figures that; 1) Type II-1 pavement structure shows very low strength and deformation resistance, 2) the OPMC stabilized layers exhibit high strength and deformation resistance, 3) the ground improvement method for the BCS subgrade achieved significant results contributing immensely to the enhanced performance of Type II-3 composite pavement structure, 4) the modeled and measured curves show an appreciably good agreement. Analysis of Predicted and Actual Pavement Structural Performance Figure 6 shows a comparison of the predicted and actual performance based on the results from deflection testing and prediction made from the Structural Capacity Depreciation (SCDR) model for the three varying pavement structural configurations.. It can be inferred that Type II-1 approaches the critical zone, which is an indication of the requirement of fully-fledged rehabilitation after only 4.6 years whereas Type II-3 is structurally sound over the whole period of the Design Life (DL).

On the other hand, based on Eq. (20) and the SCDR results, the Maintenance Requirement Ratio (MRR), was generated for the three varying pavement configurations over the entire period of the Design Life (DL=20years). The results indicated that; {Type II-1}MRR=2.86, {Type II-2}MRR=0.88, {Type II3}MRR=0.43. Conclusions Comprehensive Case Study Analyses were carried out consistently over a post-construction period of approximately 4 years employing sophisticated geotechnical engineering concepts and advanced analytical tools. It can be inferred that the innovative technologies applied for the Type II-3 design realized significant increase in the strength, deformation resistance, mechanical stability and structural capacity.

A10 Capacity Building

Preamble Since the beginning of civilization, it is indeed common knowledge from various perspectives, that Research and Development (R&D) is the foundation and most paramount undertaking that can effectively and efficiently trigger an internationally competent degree of industrialization and sustainable development that would practically realize Poverty Alleviation and a conducive socio-economic environment culminating in a better life. Capacity building being the cornerstone for sustainable technological advancement Formulation of research policies for any agency, institution or organization at any given scale is normally propelled and guided by unique needs fostering enhanced rate and level of development vis a vis available natural and human resources. This calls for research to be appropriate, dynamic and commensurate to the prevailing dynamics of time~space related events, disasters, rate of development/ destruction and fundamental changes in the socio-economic and physical environment. It is noted that training is not a specific component of this assignment as referenced in the RFP data Sheet item (g).

A11 Environmental Impact Assessment

To promote environmental quality, including providing measures, environmental impact assessment (EIA) and strategic environmental assessment should be considered for incorporating environmental concerns for the projects under this Study. Environmental scoping is to be undertaken during the Condition Surveys (refer to RFP TOR 3(b), 3(e), 3(f)) and Performance Evaluation of RE Geo-structures and Retaining Walls (refer to RFP 3(d)). Further research into the impact of Geosynthetics to the environment is to be undertaken in conjunction with the literature review as stated in the RFP 3(a) and correlated to practical field assessments with recommendations for mitigation measures. The environmental concerns/challenges identified are to be considered during the development of Design Procedures, Construction Specifications and Quality Control Systems as included in the RFP 3(c) and during the development of Special Specifications for further trials on Geosynthetics (reinforced embankments and DBM/AC) reference to the RFP 3(e) and 3(f). A11-1 Contribution of OBRM/OPMCS to Environmental Impact Mitigation In this Study (refer to Figure 4.20) as well as [6]-[10], the results have shown that through the application of the OBRM and OPMCS technologies: 1) reduction of volume of materials used by approximately 40% is achieved in most cases; 2) less disturbance of land for borrow pits; 3) reduced amounts of disposable soil during construction; 4) reduced risk of collapse of geo-engineering structures and; 5) environmentally friendly due to; utilization, as much as possible, of locally available material and reduction of dust, distances (lengths of access roads) to borrow pits, Geomaterial quantities required and land acquisition, among other factors. Whilst developing these methods, comprehensive appraisals and environmental assessments that would lead to sustainable development with minimal negative environmental impacts, were undertaken [11]. The example depicted in Figure 4.20 was part of the design for Wau~Abyei Trunk road constructed in the northern oil fields of Southern Sudan.
