A-306 Peat and Organic Soils Challenges in Road
15TH INTERNATIONAL PEAT CONGRESS 2016 Abstract No: A-306 PEAT AND ORGANIC SOILS CHALLENGES IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN SARAWAK: JKR SARAWAK EXPERIENCE Vincent Tang Chok Khing Public Works Department Sarawak *Corresponding author: [email protected] SUMMARY Road construction on peat/organic soils has always posed challenges to Engineers, Contractors and policy-makers, be it a technical, contractual obligation, or cost implication. The success of road construction on soft soils relies on various important factors such as proper planning, analysis, design, construction, control and supervision. For Engineers, the primary boundary conditions are the stability and allowable settlement in terms of serviceability limits both as a function of time. Our current observation reveals that many of the road embankments and culvert foundation failures are associated with geotechnical factors. Majority of these failures are still repeating and quite identical / similar in nature that they are caused by failure to comply with one or a combination of the above factors. This paper presents some of the case histories of the road embankment construction closely related to the geotechnical factors investigated by the Author. Lastly, some simple guidelines on Method of Treatment, Cost and Design Principle to prevent future embankment failures related to geotechnical factors on soft ground are presented. INTRODUCTION Sarawak has approximately 1.7 million ha of tropical peat that covers 13% of the total land area (12.4 million ha.). It is the largest area of peatland in Malaysia. It constitutes nearly 63% of the total peatland of the country. More than 80% of the peats are more than 2.5 m depth. -
