Material Earth-Fill Widen roads for bike lanes
Purpose: Length of trench 23 Metres
depth 2.5 metres
depth of bench 0.6 metres
width of trench 4.5 metres
Recent engineering graduate working as field inspector/quality control
Is settling and cracking, the governing failure mode for roadway filling? How come we only consider, Dry Density and optimal moisture content for compaction, and not other engineering properties such as shear strength.
What happens if the foreman adds another lift when the previous lift fails, how detrimental is this for 5-6 lifts are going to be added?
