The approaches of the embankment to be constructed on soft soils having CBR value less than 2 . The maximum height of the embankment to be constructed on the soft foundation soil is 11m with a heavy traffic live load
The project consultant proposed 2 layers of high strength polyester woven geotextile of strength 200 KN/m in the principal direction & a granular fill of 900mm thickness at the base. The geotextile proposed acts as a basal reinforcement for the embankment and also as a separation layer to separate the granular fill of 900mm thick and the proposed fill.
