Strengthening of Foundation for Pavement
Abstract: Abstract The bearing capacity of soil is a critical factor in construction engineering, particularly for designing and constructing pavement foundations. It directly depends on the load intensity the soil can support. For Class AA loading conditions, a minimum bearing capacity of 20 t/m² is required. However, the presence of frequent rain and flash floods often reduces the soil's effectiveness due to water saturation. Saturated soil experiences a 50% decrease in …
