Title: SUMMARY OF TREATMENTS FOR HIGHWAY EMBANKMENTS ON SOFT FOUNDATIONS
Accession Number: 00230545
Record Type: Component
Abstract: EVALUATION AND SOLUTION OF FOUNDATION PROBLEMS INVOLVING HIGHWAY EMBANKMENTS IN NEW YORK STATE ARE BEING SUMMARIZED. CRITICAL SOILS AREAS ARE LOCATED AND SUFFICIENT DATA OBTAINED TO DETERMINE THE SOIL PROPERTIES. BY ESTABLISHING CLOSE COORDINATION BETWEEN THE LOCATION ENGINEERS AND SOILS ENGINEERS, IT IS OFTEN POSSIBLE TO AVOID CRITICAL SOILS PROBLEMS HAVING EXPENSIVE SOLUTIONS BY MINOR SHIFTS IN ALIGNMENT. THE MOST ECONOMICAL AND SATISFACTORY SOLUTION TO AN EMBANKMENT FOUNDATION PROBLEM IS DETERMINED NOT ONLY BY THE SOIL PROPERTIES, BUT ALSO BY CONSIDERATION OF CONSTRUCTION TIME, RIGHT-OF-WAY, LOCATION OF PROJECT, COST AND AVAILABILITY OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, AND HIGHWAY GEOMETRICS.
