INTRODUCTION

This paper introduces a review of the earthwork issue experienced in the


development of a embankment for the expressway venture in alluvium stores close Sg.
Rasau, Dengkil, Selangor at about 101ͦͦͦ 25’E-101ͦͦͦ 45’E and latitude 2 30’N-3
00’E . The alluvium stores for the most part comprise of dirt and silty mud piece
containing extensive measures of natural material and rotted wood (peat and natural
soils). The attributes and building properties of this delicate soil are given regard to its
earthworks and geotechnical execution. Soils information are used to illustrate the
construction and the potential performance problems encountered.

CASE STUDY

As a precursor to the discourse on the soil dispersion, its is valuable to inspect the
geography and topography of the investigation region. For soft soil,it is low lying
swampy regions that widely secured with peat of a normal thickness of 2m, in spite of
the fact that thickness of up to 6m has been recorded. While for residual soil,
colluvium and bedrock which is the high ground ascends between 30m to 60m. This
high ground is essentially secured by remaining soils, got from weathering of foliated
metasedimentary shake which happen as a progression of parallel slopes adjusted in
an a south-easterly to north westerly direction. For groundwater, in the plain surface
for the most part being found at somewhere in the range of 0.1m and 0.5m profundity.

APPLICATION

1) Surface soil reinforcement method


The strategy includes laying some support materials (geotextiles and
geogrids) at the surface of the delicate soil store before filling. The material
are helpful to guarantee site trafficability, to control loss of fill materials and
to decrease differential settlement of the embankment. They additionally give
level limitation at the base of the embankment in order to lessen the danger
of rotational or on the other hand value-based disappointments of the
embankment. It must be featured that this strategy can't lessen the last
aggregate dike settlement which is identified with the compressibility and
thickness of the supporting delicate soils stores, and the measure of fill set
over the delicate soils.

2) Replacement method/filling

The strategy includes evacuation of all or part of the delicate soil and
supplanting it with reasonable materials. The evacuation can be executed
utilizing unearthing hardware. The unearthing and inlay are conveyed out
with or without dewatering. This is finished promptly or to sand taking care
of with the end goal to keep the material free from laminants. The principal
phase of sand filling will be around one meter, which in the meantime fills in
as stage for haulage conveying sand to the exhumed territory. On achieving
satisfactory stretch of around 50 m, the sand layer of sandal will continue and
the consequent layer after the first one-meter will be compacted agreeably by
methods for a vibratory roller. After that testing ought to be done promptly
after the activity or then again else the entrance of underground water is fast
what's more, causes the current water table to raise up and the top will be
doused off with water and remains completely immersed.

3) Pile supported embankment method

As the name infers, rather than supporting the embankment stack on the
delicate soil, this heap is currently upheld on piles. Piles are introduced and
the pile finish are topped with a persistent r.c. section or piles tops with a
solid geotextile crossing between the tops. In this manner the fill loads are
exchanged through the piles to a lower, more skilled supporting stratum. This
outcomes in expanding bearing limit furthermore, an exceptional decrease of
embankment settlement to an adequate dimension, as a rule inside 25 mm.
CONCLUSION

In arranging, plan and development roadway over delicate soil stores, coming up
next are fundamental with the end goal to have the capacity to actualize a fruitful and
cost-effective development:

i. Information on topography of the region.

ii. Site examination to decide the subsurface conditions particularly the geotechnical
properties of delicate soil for this region.

iii. Appraisal of different strategies for development also, constraints of every


strategy.
