TRANSLATION OF JAPANESE HIGHWAY DESIGN MANUAL, PART 1: EARTHWORKS
The report is a translation of Part 1 - Earthworks - of the Design Manual of the Japan Highway Public Corporation (Nihon Doro Kodan). The manual draws on overseas practice, particularly United States practice. Modifications and innovations to known practice are detailed. The manual includes chapters dealing with soil classification and properties; embankments, cuttings and road construction; embankment and cutting slopes; slope protection; and countermeasure construction, including deep soil stabilisation. Some of the techniques described are not well known outside Japan; of special interest is the extension of the unified soil classification to volcanic soils. A detailed treatment of slope vegetation is also given. (Author/TRRL)
