POST-OPENING EMBANKMENT BEHAVIOUR OF SHAH ALAM EXPRESSWAY (PACKAGE B) (GEOTECHNICAL)

Major highway embankments built over soft ground in Malaysia are designed to perform to stringent residual settlement requirements after opening to traffic, but there is a dearth of published literatures regarding their post-opening settlement behaviour. Post-opening settlement monitoring was carried out for the full length of the Shah Alam Expressway from 14 April 1998 for periods up to ten months, to confirm compliance to the specified settlement requirements. Settlement observations over time suggest that the settlement rates might have decayed exponentially. Good correlations were obtained of the observed settlements and the postulated exponential settlement rate decay model. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no.
