Abstract
Abstract By its linear nature, a major highway is likely to encounter a large variety of geological materials with different engineering properties. Therefore, highway designers and contractors are faced with materials having different properties and in situ characteristics, requiring different methods of investigation, types of design and ways of handling. They are also required to maximize the use of these materials. Technical methods are available for achieving this objective, particularly for applications in general fills, capping and slope stability. The input from engineering geology in the construction process is an important element in achieving the best use of materials.
