STABILISED SLOPES FOR PHASE II

TAMAN SETIAWANGSA DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

N/A

I&P Setiawangsa Sdn Bhd

Taman Setiawangsa, Kuala Lumpur

1988

Phase II of Taman Setiawangsa is located on hilly terrain with steep slopes. Construction of a 80 ft wide road traversing through the middle of the development necessitates cuttings of up to 150 ft in order to comply with maximum gradient requirements. Cuts provided with normal stable slopes will results in the cutting away of whole hills de voiding the development of its existing vegetations and trees. In order to avoid extensive removal of the vegetation, it is proposed that steeper slopes be provided and stabilisation measure implemented to maintain stability of the slopes.

Geotechnical engineering currently being carried out involve the analysis of the stability of the proposed slopes along critical non-circular sliding planes and design of slope and rock anchoring measures to provide adequate factor of safety of safety against potential and foreseeable failure mechanisms.

SLOPE STABILISATION FOR TEMERLOH ¨C MENTAKAB BYPASS AT CH3175

N/A

Hassan Mat

Construction Sdn Bhd

Pahang

1988

A section of the embankment at CH3175 slipped after a period of prolonged heavy rain in November, 1987. Geotechnical engineering works included the analysis, investigation into the cause of the distress in the slope and the design of the stabilisation and reconstruction of the embankment slope. Ground and surface water control measures were incorporated into the design.

STABILISATION WORKS FOR ROAD LINKING

JALAN PERBANDARAN WITH JALAN SS8/1, PETALING JAYA

N/A

Erat Maju

Sdn Bhd

Petaling Jaya

1987

The proposed section of road linking Jalan SS8/1 to Jalan Perbandaran and parallel to Jalan 5A/2A is located on soft mining waste. Previous attempts to construct the road using conventional method were not successful. The stabilisation works and construction methodology were designed for Erat Maju Sdn Bhd as part of their tender for the design and construction package called by PKNS.

Geotechnical engineering works involved the investigation, analysis and design of the stabilisation and embankment support measures for the road and for control of post construction settlement to the specified requirement of not greater than 6 inches.

The design proposed consisted of the use of timber piles supporting a road subgrade and pavement constructed of compacted sand reinforced with geogrid reinforcement.
