CONSTRUCTION METHOD SECTION

OBSERVATIONS FOR FULL-SCALE EXPERIMENTAL EMBANKMENTS OR OTHER ROAD EMBANKMENTS IN ACTUAL FIELDS AND LABORATORY TESTS, IN TERMS OF CREEP SETTLEMENT, ARE PERFORMED TO OBTAIN RELATION BETWEEN COMPACTION DEGREE AND SETTLEMENT STABILITY, TO ESTABLISH THE COMPACTION STANDARD FOR ROAD EMBANKMENTS AND THEIR QUALITY CONTROL. RESEARCH ON CONSTRUCTION METHODS FOR EARTH EMBANKMENTS INCLUDE: (1) THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMPACTION DEGREE AND SETTLEMENT AFTER COMPLETION; (2) SETTLEMENT PREVENTION METHODS FOR APPROACH EMBANKMENTS; (3) EARTH-WORKS QUALITY CONTROL ITEMS AND METHODS; AND (4) FILLING MATERIALS AND THEIR STABILITY. RESEARCH ON ECONOMICAL DESIGN FOR EARTH RETAINING WALLS UTILIZES LARGE SCALE MODELS FOR THE EXAMINATION OF BASIC DESIGN DATA AND THE METHOD OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FOR SPECIAL RETAINING WALLS.
