APPLICATION OF GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION: A CASE STUDY OF LIVERPOOL ROAD, EKET L.G.A OF AKWA IBOM STATE
Abstract
This project aims to delve into the multifaceted application of geotechnical engineering in road
construction. From the initial site investigation to the design and execution phases, geotechnical
considerations profoundly impact decision-making processes. The utilization of geotechnical
data aids in selecting appropriate foundation types, designing effective slope stabilization
measures, and mitigating the risks associated with subsurface conditions.
Moreover, advancements in geotechnical technologies, such as ground improvement techniques,
geosynthetics, and geophysical investigations, have revolutionized the way road projects are
conceptualized and executed. These innovations not only enhance the efficiency of construction
but also contribute to sustainable and cost-effective solutions.
