Abstract:

This research provides solutions to identified problems through better management and optimization of the available pavement geotechnical materials and through ground improvement, soil reinforcement, and other soil treatment techniques. Objectives • Evaluate the engineering properties of embankment materials by mixing different soils, such as the select and unsuitable soils in different proportions. • Evaluate the permeability of mixed materials. • Evaluate the use of fl owable mortar in place of conventional backfi ll material around a drainage pipe.
