Forensic study on rural road pavement failures along Parit Sumarto

Road deformation was occurred so prevalent on rural roads of Batu Pahat vicinity moreover when it's constructed on soft ground. This study presents the results of forensic investigation of a deterioration portion of the Parit Sumarto rural road. This road had been selected as represent of mo...

This study presents the results of forensic investigation of a deterioration portion of the Parit Sumarto rural road.

Mini falling weight deflectometer (MFWD) measure the modulus of the unbound layer and lastly density gauge (DG) for density measurement. Subsequently destructive testing (DT) like dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) for assessment of unbound layer and thickness determination was conducted. Also, coring and trenching to obtain samples for further laboratory tests. Two locations were trench; one at deteriorated section and one were outside the deteriorated location. MFWD results in this study revealed unsatisfactory as they are significant low. Layer thickness determination via GPR, DCP and trenching was at acceptable differences. The data obtained from NDTs, DTs and laboratory were than used in 2D finite element method (Plaxis) and multilayer elastic analysis (Kenlayer). By using Plaxis in this study, it is found that the root cause of the deformation was inappropriate geometrical design pertaining to road shoulder width.
