Dr. Mukabi is vastly experienced in the field of Geotechnical Engineering, Soil Mechanics,

Geroascience, Geophysics, Geomathematics and Civil Engineering. His achievements are vast,

showing the highest value input, some of which have made him earn numerous awards. He is

currently the only Non-Euro Member of World Elite Scholars of the European Geogrid Experts

Panel, EGEP, alongside the other various esteemed memberships above. His approach to design

and engineering is unique and he has come up with revolutionary methods and techniques that

immensely assist Engineers in both design and construction supervision. For more than 28 years he

has worked on highways, bridges, airports, and many more large Civil Engineering Projects. His

skills in developing unique and innovative concepts and techniques for practical application in

Geotechnical Engineering, Materials Testing, Survey Methods, Analytical Approach, Perceptive

Scientific Tools, Systematic Approach Concepts, Engineering/Scientific Theories, Design Approach

and Methods of Construction as well as scientific and engineering research and specialized

construction supervision methods are, by any standards hardly quantifiable.

He studied in Japan for 13 years mastering the skills he mainly adopts in practice for various major

projects in the African Region and internationally. He attained a Ph.D Degree from The University

of Tokyo graduating among the top in his class consisting of international and Japanese students.

While in Japan, Dr. Mukabi participated in a number of large-scale projects and his substantial

research input culminated, partly, in the realization of the Ultra Futuristic 21st Century City - the

Minato Mirai 21 (MM21). This is a city in Yokohama City of Japan that incorporates all the modern

design elements including automated highways, high-tech information superhighway

infrastructure, high-tech smart buildings and amenity facilities constructed predominantly on land


that was reclaimed from the sea. He also possesses great qualities, knowledge and genius for civil

engineering construction of bridges, highways, and affordable housing for developing countries,

which result in appreciable cost savings.

Whilst at the University of Tokyo, Dr. Mukabi also had opportunities to conduct advanced joint

research with scholars from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard University,

University of Cambridge, Imperial College, University of London, City University London,

University of Sydney, University of Beijing, University of Rome, University of Naples, Politecnico di

Torino, among others.

other organizations. He has played a major pivotal role in the success of various projects by

providing prompt and pragmatic engineering solutions to some of the most critical geotechnical

engineering problems and complex soils, besides developing VE (Value Engineering)

countermeasures for projects in areas suffering from a gross lack of suitable materials for road

and foundation design and construction. His engineering contribution has led to appreciably

enormous cost savings and reduction in terms of construction time of some major highway and

bridge projects particularly in Ethiopia, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, South

Africa, Mozambique, Kenya and the African and Asian Regions in general.

Dr. Mukabi strongly believes in the importance of fostering capacity building and technology

Project Name: Design and Construction of Mpata Safari Club Access

Road

Client: Mpata International, Tokyo, Japan

Location: Maasai Mara, Kenya

Brief Project Particulars/Description

Mpata Safari Club is perched on the hilltop with breathtaking views of the Masai Mara Reserve. Its adventageous location and well designed programs offer guests a chance to experience the environmental beauty. The Clubs unique design is the brainchild of Edward Suzuki - a leading architect in Japan. Guests stay in individual cottages well spaced along the top of the escarpment offering paranomic views. There are 11 suites and 12 deluxe units in Mpata Safari Club, each with seperate bedroom, bathroom and verandah. With emphasis on comfort and a unique combination of interior design, the suites have a lounge, kitchenette but the best of all is an outdoor Jacuzzi with spectacular and breathtaking views of the Masai Marai Game Reserve. The Club has a Sunken Rock Bar that offers sensational views of the Mara River and the Sundowner Bar that is well located to enhance the view of the rising and setting sun. The project involved the Basic and detailed design and construction of

an approximately 10km long of the Mpata Safari Club Access Road

through very challenging terrain and acute gradients. As a consequence,

careful consideration had to be made, during the design studies, for the

cut and fill earth works, whilst ensuring minimal environmental

disturbance particularly due to the fact that the Club is located in one

of the most important conservation areas in this region.

Prior to, and during the implementation of the Project, serious

attention was made and care taken to ensure that the environmental

stipulations and requirements were upheld by undertaking periodically

consistent Environmental Impact Assessment and monitoring

programmes accordingly.

Position: Project Manager/Team Leader/Chief Consulting Engineer

The main tasks involved contract administration, Construction and

maintenance of Civil Works for civil and other works for the Mpata Club.

: Project Name: Bridge Projects Across The Seto Sea Islands, Japan

Client: The Honshu-Shikoku Bridge Authority, Government of Japan

Location: Kojima (Honshuu) ~ Sakaide (Shikoku), Japan


Seto Great Bridge, Japanese Seto Ōhashi, is a series of suspension

bridges spanning the Inland Sea (Seto-naikai) between the islands of

Honshu and Shikoku, Japan. The double-tiered rail and vehicular

roadway is a network of six bridges, straddling a chain of five small

islands, and extends 5.6 miles (9 km) over water to link the towns of

Kojima, on Honshu, and Sakaide, on Shikoku. Its total length is 7.6 miles

(12.2 km), and it consists of three main suspensions—the longest being

the central span of Minami Bisan–Seto Bridge, at 3,667 feet (1,118 m).

The Seto Great Bridge took 10 years to build and was opened on April

10, 1988.

The Seto islands multi-billion dollar bridge project involved the long-

term rigorous research, study, design and massive construction of the

various types of bridges including suspension and cable stay over the

entire breath of sea connecting the main Honshu and the Shikoku islands

in the southern part of Japan.

Position: Associate Construction Supervisor/Trainee In Civil &

Structural Engineering Design & Construction Supervision

As a BSc. Student in the Department of Civil and Marine Engineering, Dr.

Mukabi undertook intensive training in Contract Administration and

Project Management in Civil Engineering Practice including planning,

design and construction implementation of mega projects.

The training also covered such technical aspects as:

Advances in Land Reclaimation Technologies

Deep Foundation Piling for Offshore Structures

Caisson Foundation Design and Construction

Geotechnical Engineering Design and Construction for Bridge

Foundations

Advances in the Application of the New Austrian Tunnelling

Method (This was applied for the construction of the Washuzan

Tunnel, an approach to the Seto Great Bridge from Honshuu).

: Project Name: Yokohama Minato Mirai 21st Century Project (MM21)

Futuristic Intelligent City.

Client: Yokohama City Development Authority, Japan

Location: Yokohama, Japan


When Japan emerged from centuries of isolation in the mid-19th

century, Yokohama was a tiny seaside village, home to only 100 people

or so. But as the tide of internationalization rose, a port was established

and Yokohama began to grow as a gateway to Japan. Yokohama is now a

leading international trading port, the second largest city in Japan after

Tokyo. Situated just a short distance along the coast from the Japanese

capital, and within easy reach of Haneda Airport, Yokohama is now a

magnet for tourists not just from Japan but from every corner of the

world; it's a place everyone wants to visit.

The name "Minato Mirai 21" was one of many proposals submitted by

members of the public in response to an appeal. "Minato" means "port"

and "mirai" means "future." "Port Future 21" thus embodies the dream

that Yokohama will enjoy a bright future in the 21st century.

Minato Mirai 21 (MM21), first conceived as an Idea almost 3 decades

ago, was Yokohama's vision of the future. It was practically realized in

1997 once, only dockyards, the city is turning this harbour front area

into a world class business / recreation complex with one of the most

advanced information infrastructure. The main crown is the Landmark

Tower - at 296m, the tallest building in East Asia. It was meant to be

higher, but flight restrictions at the Haneda airport prevented it. It

boasts the latest in computerized anti-earthquake and anti-motion

equipment and the fastest elevator in the world ascending at a speed of

45km/hr (12.5m/s).

Intended to be a cultural cosmopolitan and information city of the 21st

Century with superior environment, the Intelligent City is a

manifestation of the success of Public and Private Sector joint

partnership.

(Continuation)

Oct ’87 ~ Mar ‘89

(18 Months)

Minato Mirai 21 is a modern urban development that was created, and

continues to evolve, on 186ha of land. A shipbuilding facility that used

to divide Yokohama's two main urban centers on Tokyo Bay was

relocated, and additional land was reclaimed from the sea. In 1989 an

exposition was held to mark the 100th anniversary of Yokohama's city

status and the 130th anniversary of the opening of Yokohama Port.

Following that event development gathered momentum, and now the

area boasts office blocks, commercial facilities, hotels, amusement

parks and convention facilities, as well as such cultural amenities as art

museums and concert halls. This, the new face of Yokohama, offers an

entire spectrum of urban functions and attracts more than 50 million

visitors every year.

Position: Research Associate

Dr. Mukabi participated in various Study Groups and Technical

Committees in charge of urban planning and design, home and office

automation, integrated communications systems and network, urban

transport planning, study and design as well as the study on the

performance of the reclaimed land and/or foundation bearing ground

under various loading conditions.

Fly ash has been used successfully in many projects to improve the strength characteristics of soils. Fly ash can be used to stabilize bases or subgrades, to stabilize backfill to reduce lateral earth pressures and to stabilize embankments to improve slope stability. Typical stabilized soil depths are 15 to 46 centimeters (6 to 18 inches). The primary reason fly ash is used in soil stabilization applications is to improve the compressive and shearing strength of soils. The compressive strength of fly ash treated soils is dependent on:

In-place soil properties

Delay time

Moisture content at time of compaction

Fly ash addition ratio Soil stabilization is the alteration of soil properties to improve the engineering performance of soils. The properties most often altered are density, water content, plasticity and strength. Modification of soil properties is the temporary enhancement of subgrade stability to expedite construction. Class C fly ash and Class F-lime product blends can be used in numerous geotechnical applications common with highway construction:

To enhance strength properties

Stabilize embankments

To control shrink swell properties of expansive soils

Drying agent to reduce soil moisture contents to permit compaction

Class C fly ash can be used as a stand-alone material because of its self-cementitious properties. Class F fly ash can be used in soil stabilization applications with the addition of a cementitious agent (lime, lime kiln dust, CKD, and cement). The self-cementitious behavior of fly ashes is determined by ASTM D 5239. This test provides a standard method for determining the compressive strength of cubes made with fly ash and water (water/fly ash weight ratio is 0.35), tested at seven days with standard moist curing. The self-cementitious characteristics are ranked as shown below:

Very self-cementing > 500 psi (3,400 kPa)

Moderately self-cementing 100 - 500 psi (700 - 3,400 kPa)

Non self-cementing < 100 psi (700 kPa)

In order to study into the possibility of adopting fly ash generated as a

by-product from geothermal power stations, as a cementatious

geomaterial for land reclamation and other geotechnical engineering

purposes by taking advantage of its pozzolanic reaction and nature, Dr.

Mukabi, through the Geotechnical Research Institute of the Yokohama

National University, was commissioned to carry out research for the

Research Institute of the Kansai Electric Company.

One of the basic objectives was to convert this environmentally

hazardous bi-product that is usually produced in bulk into a useful

construction material for Civil Engineering purposes. The shortcoming

however, had been developing a most cost-effective and

environmentally friendly mode of transporting this material to the

respective sites.

During the course of this Study, a method was designed to transform it

into slurry by applying admixtures (surface-active agents, surfactants)

and transporting it to site through high-pressurized piped pumping.

Nevertheless, this method was found to reduce the intrinsic strength

and affect other vital engineering properties of the material such as the

angle of internal friction. An intensive Study based on laboratory and

field testing was therefore set out to investigate, among other

engineering parameters and influencing factors, the effect of mode of

curing and period on the strength and deformation resistance

development.

Position: Research Associate

The tasks for Dr. Mukabi were to undertake research on the method of

enhancing the engineering properties of fly ash through the application

of admixtures and unique consolidation methods and propose optimum

methods of transporting the material to site and applying it practically

for purposes of land reclamation and construction of other geo-

structures.

: Project Name: Construction of Man-made Islands, Bridges, Shield Tunnels etc., Japan

Client: Trans-Tokyo Bay Highway Corp., Ministry of Construction

Location: Tokyo Bay/Kawasaki/Chiba, Japan


The Ministry of Construction started a feasibility survey in terms of economics and civil engineering technology in 1966. Several technical committees were organised August 1975. In August 1976, the Japan Highway Public Corporation took over the survey work. In May 1983, the Cabinet of the Japanese Government approved the construction of the highway. The Trans-Tokyo Bay Highway Corporation was established in October 1986. The actual construction started in May 1989. The ground improvement work by the sand compaction pile method and the deep mixing method (a sort of in-situ cement-mixing) started in August 1989 at several places along the route (i.e., the Ukishima Access and the Kawasaki and Kisarazu man-made islands). The construction of the foundations for the bridge started in October 1989. The construction was completed in December 1997 and the highway was opened to public on 18th December 1997. The Trans Tokyo Bay Highway, connecting Kawasaki City in Kanagawa Prefecture and Chiba City in Chiba Prefecture, Japan and traversing across the Central part of the Tokyo Bay Loop Road Network, was a project involving the construction of a 15.1 km highway initiated by the Trans-Tokyo Bay Highway Corporation under the Ministry of Construction, Japan. The main features included bridges, under sea shield tunnels, and man-made islands. The samples of the Tokyo Bay Clay, which is a relatively stiff clay of the Pleistocene Era were obtained from various locations of the constructions site at depths of between on 50 m below a 21.15 m deep sea bed.

The construction of the Trans-Tokyo Bay Highway became technically feasible only by employing several new construction techniques related to geotechnical engineering, including: 1) large scale improvement of existing soft clay deposits by in-situ cement-mixing, controlling the strength; 2) construction of large offshore embankments using a slurry of cement-mixed sand and a dry cement-mixed sand; 3) construction of shield tunnels with the world’s largest diameter in successive stiff cement-mixed soil and very soft clay at a very shallow depth and their underground connection with the help of the ground freezing technique; and

4) construction of a huge offshore diaphragm wall with the world’s largest dimensions of 98 m in internal diameter and 119 m in height with the bottom end at a depth of TP-114 m (i.e., a depth below the average sea level). The most difficult issue with respect to the structural form of the highway was how to safeguard extremely heavy shipping routes during construction and after completion. The shipping flow over the planned route of the highway that was measured inOctober 1990 was 1,400 vessels per day. Ninety percent of this traffic passes in the region of water between the Ukishima Access and the Kisarazu man-made island. The proposal that was investigated most seriously among those that were proposed at early stages of investigation. This plan was finally replaced by the final structural form. In this previous proposal, the highway comprised submerged tunnels (i.e., immersed tube tunnels) at the central part, two bridges on both sides and two embankment-type man-made islands between them. In 1985, this structural form was finally replaced for the following reasons (Uchida et al., 1993):

1) a bridge solution could not satisfy the required width of shipping route and cannot ensure the safety of the completed bridges; 2) a structure comprising submerged tunnels and bridges required the occupation of a large area of water for a long period during construction; and 3) it was technically difficult to keep to an acceptable level and to accurately predict the settlement of the embankment type Kawasaki man-made island, which was to be constructed on a very thick soft clay deposit, although the deposit was to be improved by a relevant method. The present structural form, comprising the Ukishima Access, the Kawasaki island, which is a steel and RC structure, and the Kisarazu man-made island, which is basically an embankment, and shield tunnels between them, was adopted for the following reasons (Uchida et al., 1993): 1) construction of such large-diameter shield tunnels with a long tunnel drive became technically feasible (n.b., the diameter of constructed shield tunnels had reached 11.2 m); 2) construction of such a large scale diaphragm wall as the main structure of the Kawasaki man-made island became technically feasible, after similar large diaphragm walls had been constructed along the sea shore of the Tokyo Bay;

3) the present structural form has several advantages over the previous plan, in particular in that shield tunnels do not occupy the sea surface both during construction and after completion, while the excavation of seabed, which is necessary for the construction of submerged tunnels and is not environmentally favourable, becomes unnecessary; and 4) it is feasible that two tunnels (n.b., the planned final number of tunnels is three) are first constructed, while the other is constructed in the future when it becomes necessary. This type of staged construction is not feasible with submerged tunnels. Four types of ground improvement techniques by cement-treatment were used. Among those investigated, three techniques were newly developed for the project. The total amount of cement-treated soils reached about 3.77 million m3. All of the ground treatment work was finished in February 1994. The deformation and strength properties of the cement-treated soils have been reported in detail by Tatsuoka et al. (1997). Before finally deciding to adopt the ground improvement techniques by in-situ cement-mixing and constructing fill embankments using cement-mixed soil, it was necessary to modify the conventional design method for cement-mixed soil, adapted to the large scale of the structures in this project, as described below. Position: Associate Researcher/Junior Construction Supervision Associate/Junior Associate Geotechnical Engineering Consultant As one of the Researchers, Construction Supervision Advisor and Consultant in Geotechnical Engineering, Dr. Mukabi was entrusted the responsibility of undertaking research that would determine not only the appropriate and suitable design parameters for various foundations but also to propose a method of enhancing the deformation resistance of the clay by developing unique testing procedures as well as proposing the most optimum soil improvement and construction techniques that would ensure the achievement of the quality required during construction.

: Project Name: Waterfront Development, Reclamation And Ground Settlement-Associated Problems of The New Kansai International Airport.

Client: The Port And Harbour Research Institute, Ministry Of Transport

Location: Kansai, Japan


The Kansai International Airport, which is located in Osaka Bay, 35km south of the centre of Osaka, Japan, opened in September 1994. Over 15 million passengers used the airport in the year 2008. Aircraft movements in the same year were 129,263. The port and Harbour Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, Japan requested for a joint research with the Institute of Industrial Science of the University of Tokyo, to characterize as precisely as possible, the ground settlement at the site of the New Kansai International Airport as a result of reclamation activities. The Osaka Bay Clay adopted from experimental testing and research was sampled from depths of 98 –210 m below the seabed. A detailed and comprehensive Research Regime was designed for undertaking both field and laboratory testing applying State of the Art hi-tech automated tesing equipment with high resolution and precision levels and the versatile capability of measuring a variety of geaotechnical engineering parameters. Some of the main objectives that were for the research were to determine the effective countermeasures of simulating, modelling and controlling the settlement and developing geotechnical engineering technologies that would foster advanced Value Engineering. The Research Programme referred herein was mainly implemented between 1989 and 1994. The stratigraphy of the Osaka Bay is rather complex. It fromed the integral part of the subsurface investigation to evaluate the geological formation, design and undertake in-situ experimental testing for purposes of determining geotechnical engineering parameters for prediction and monitoring of the settlement of the 4km long man-made island filled with approximately 180,000,000m3 of rock mixed soil used for founding the Kansai International Airport as well as foundation design for the terminal buildings and runways pavement structures. KIA has already gained an important position as an international air traffic hub. In order to retain and further enhance its importance at a time when other large new airports are being built and opened throughout Asia, it is considered vital to proceed with the development.

It is hoped the expansion will also increase economic and social activities and play a positive factor in improving the economy of Osaka and the greater Kansai region.

The Government of Japan estimates the total economic value produced by the second phase development of the project to be approximately $94.6bn and 190,000 new jobs nationwide, of which $85bn and 150,000 jobs will go to the Kinki region

The second phase includes the construction of a second main terminal building, located close to the first terminal building. The passenger area in the airport is planned to be wing shaped to accommodate future expansions. Cargo facilities are planned to be located south of the island, with sufficient space planned for aircraft parking apron along with a cargo warehouse at its side The airport previously operated on a single 3,500m runway and was capable of handling up to 160,000 departures and arrivals per year. With the addition of a second runway, this number is expected to rise to up to 230,000 departures and arrivals by 2011. The second runway was completed and opened on 2 August 2007, but the construction of the terminal was postponed. With the addition of a second 4,000m long runway, the airport is expected to handle up to 230,000 departures and arrivals by 2011.

Airport expansion project timescale

The seawall foundation improvement work started in 1999. Construction of the runway was started in 2003 and was ready for use in August 2007.

Land reclamation

The development will produce an additional 542ha of land projecting offshore from the current airport island. The new land will be the site for construction of a new 4,000m runway, a cargo complex and a supply management facility. The landfill is estimated to require 270 million cubic metres of earth, rock and sand.

This phase of construction is more difficult than the first as the work involves building over deeper water with softer ocean ground. Below the seabed lies a layer of moist, soft clay over 20m thick. Firstly, the water must be removed to strengthen the clay. Sea walls surrounding the island must be built to protect the airport island from the oceanic currents. When the sea walls are near completion, large vessels drop soil on the seabed.

Seabed improvement

The method used for seabed improvement is the sand drain method. Prior to reclamation work, a number of sand piles are driven into the soft seabed clay. The weight of the soil used for reclamation causes the water in the clay beneath to move outward along the sand piles. The clay gradually becomes solidified in this way.

To measure precisely the subsidence, subsidence speed, subsidence behaviour and strength of the island's foundation, a large-scale measurement tower (33.5m in height from its foundation to its tower deck and 22m in deck area) was installed near the north end of the reclaimed land to be used for the project.

The tower will be used as a base for measuring the deformation of the seabed.

Eight large sand drain barges for deep-sea operations were used for the seabed improvement work. All the seabed improvement work was completed after the last sand drain barge departed from the construction area.

Position: Associate Researcher Dr. Mukabi developed various hi-tech testing techniques and procedures during this study that were effective in precisely determining the elastic and shear moduli, effect of reconsolidation procedure in relation to settlement, effects of rates of constructing overlaying reclamation layers, cyclic prestraining among others, whilst offering invaluable advise on the suitable techniques to be applied during the construction supervision stage.

: Project Name: The Kandagawa Flood Control Project in Tokyo

Client: Taisei Corporation, Japan

Location: Kandagawa, Tokyo, Japan


In the last decade, there have been many destructive floods in various parts of the world. Despite the extensive investment in flood control works, neither flood occurrences nor damages are decreasing. A possible consequence of climate change is an increased frequency of extreme meteorological events that may cause floods. The section of the Kandagawa River that flows through the Suginami Ward of Tokyo had become notorious for major floods disasters precipitated mainly by the overflooding of the River. As a civil engineering countermeasure and environmental mitigation measure, the Kandagawa Flood Control Project was initiated whereby a deep shaft with an internal diameter of 28.2m with a subsurface regulating reservoir was designed and constructed in Kandagawa within the vicinity of Kannana Highway, a Temple, Business Distric as well as residential and amenity areas. The shaft and reservoir were constructed within the Suginami Clay, which is a very stiff heavily overconsolidated Pleistocene clay. The samples for laboratory testing were obtaining by block sampling carved by hand from depths of between 29 ~ 60m below the ground surface. Most of the specimens were prepared from Geomaterial that had been sampled from the hole that had been prepared to take the shaft. A detailed and comprehensive Research Regime was designed for undertaking both field and laboratory testing applying State of the Art hi-tech automated tesing equipment with high resolution and precision levels and the versatile capability of measuring a variety of geaotechnical engineering parameters.

Position: Associate Researcher Due to the complications that may have prevailed in the geotechnical characteristic as a result of the flooding, Dr. Mukabi was assigned to study these effects under varying conditions. The research concerned mainly the experimental Study of the surrounding Suganami clay which was very stiff and heavily over consolidated Pleistocene in nature. The drained and undrained behaviour of the Suginami clay under intense static and dynamic cyclic loading was therefore studied. He was also assigned to assist in the supervision and ensure that the newly developed hi-tech civil engineering methods were effectively applied during the construction.

properties of this clay, including the plasticity index, unit weight,

specific density, voids ratio, natural water content etc, had been

investigated by Ariake Research Group since 1965. The soil profiles

depicted in the borelogging indicated that the overburden stress

increase virtually uniformly with depth derivatively implying that stress-

strain-time controlled consolidation techniques could also enhance the

vital geotechnical engineering properties. The project involved

undertaking research that would establish and develop ground

improvement methods that would realize higher strength, deformation

resistance and enhanced engineering properties so that the ground

would act as a foundation for railway construction.

The Great Hanshin Earthquake or Kobe Earthquake which struck

Tuesday, January 17, 1995, at 05:46 JSTcaused death, injury and

colossal damage of most the civil engineering and architectural

structures in Kobe, Japan

It occurred in the southern part of Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. It measured 6.8 on the moment magnitude scale (USGS) and Mj7.3 (adjusted from 7.2) on JMA magnitude scale. The tremors lasted for approximately 20 seconds. The focus of the earthquake was located 16 km beneath its epicenter, on the northern end of Awaji Island, 20 km away from the city of Kobe. Approximately 6,434 people lost their lives (final estimate as of December 22, 2005); about 4,600 of them were from Kobe. Among major cities, Kobe, with its population of 1.5 million, was the closest to the epicenter and hit by the strongest tremors. This was Japan's worst earthquake in the 20th century after the Great Kantō earthquake which occurred in 1923 claiming 140,000 lives. It caused approximately ten trillion yen ($100 billion) in damage, an amount that translates to 2.5% of Japan's GDP at the time

As a consequence, It was necessary to promptly establish various

technical committees that would undertake the design and

implementation of emergency mitigation measures and propose the

fastest methods of reconstruction since the city had practically been

almost totally destroyed.

Location: Nationwide, Kenya


The fact that housing has central importance to every human being’s

quality of life and health consolidated with considerable economic,

social, cultural and personal significance.

Despite the foregoing, the global trend seems to indicate an exponential

increase in slums or informal settlements as a result of population

explosion and dynamic rural-urban migration. Despite the fact that

considerable improvements and achievements have been made in

solving this problems in some countries, developing countries continue

to be the focus of increased slum developments.

The design of dwellings and neighbourhoods reflects and protects

important elements of values and culture. Further, the important role

of housing production in employment generation, particularly for

unskilled labour, cannot be overemphasized.

To ensure the initiation of effective programmes and decisive actions in

this regard, the Millennium Declaration of the UN-HABITAT endorsed the

the direct labour method by the National Youth Service (NYS).

In 1995, the Government of Kenya obtained loan No. KE-P16 from the

Government of Japan which was primarily to construct Sections A

(Garissa ~ Hola – 129km), Section B (Hola ~ Garsen – 94km) and Section

C (Garsen ~ Malindi – 104km). Part of the loadn was utilized to procure

machinery for Section A which was under NYS, whilst Sections B and C

were contracted, on 8th September 1995, to China Road & Bridge

Construction which was supervised by Construction Projects

Consultants, Japan.

The Tana Basin Development Project comprised of the rehabilitation

and construction of the Tana Basin Road Project connecting Malindi to

Garissa traversing 330 km and the construction of the Tana Basin

Irrigation Scheme. Both projects were undertaken under the funding by

Japan Bank of International Cooperation (JIBIC).

Project Name: CON-AID Research and Development Proposal

Client: CON-AID Pty, South Africa/Mitsui Corporation, South Africa/ Mitsui Corporation, Kenya

Location: Garsen ~ Hola, Kenya

Brief Project Background/Particulars/Description

CON-AID is fundamentally described as a chemical stabilizing agent

applied mainly for road construction. It is said to be totally dispersible

in water, non-flamable, non-hazardous, non-toxic and environmentally

friendly.

CON-AID is considered to be a surface agent which takes advantage of

the ION-exchange capacity of clay minerals to change a geomaterials

characteristics from the hydrophilic (water absorption) nature to a

hydrophobic (total water repellent). As clayey geomaterials consist of

many layers with a variety of loosely associated ions which attract

water molecules to enhance hydrophylicity (absorption) of clays, CON-

AID is said to be able to get rid of the adsorbed water leading to the

achievement of better compaction and permanent stabilization with

minimum mechanical effort through the direct contact of particles.

Capillaries existing in the compacted material also have their inner

walls coated with hydrophobic layers of CON-AID which is said to allow

free movement of water.

The assignment to provide justification on the feasibility of adopting

CON-AID was given to the Kenya Geotechnical Forum (currently known

as the Kenya Geotechnical Society) of which the Founder President is

Dr. John Mukabi. The assignment was supported by the Materials Testing

& Research Department of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, the

University of Nairobi and Construction Projects Consultants.

The overall objectives were as follows.

1. To develop more technical and practical data base on CON-AID

in relation to what it’s physical and chemical properties are,

whether it really works, how it works and under what conditions

it works.

2. To scientifically determine and technically explain the effects

of sealing and the actual strength development of CON-AID with

time, as well as establish the optimum curing periods and

effective techniques that ensure optimum strength

development.

3. To simulate the life span and deterioration characteristics of CON-AID with time.

4. To determine design parameters and conditions for CON-AID treated geomaterials adopted for geotechnical engineering projects and subsequently develop a CON-AID Design Manual and Standard Specifications.

5. To quantify the effect of excess application of CON-AID in relation to engineering characteristics of soils.

6. To undertake comprehensive and detailed analyses of the effects of evaporation and migration of CON-AID prior to reaction with geomaterials and the variation of so doing in relation to the environmental factors such as climate, type of soils, drainage conditions, topography etc.

7. To establish methods of determination of optimum layer application, layer thickness and their reciprocal effective treatment quantities.

8. To develop an appropriate, comprehensive and detailed CON-AID Testing Manual.

9. To develop and propose a research base for enhanced Research & Development of CON-AID.

Field testing was undertaken on trial sections that were constructed along some sections of the Garsen ~ Hola portion of the Malindi ~ Garissa (B8) Trunk Road, while the problematic black cotton soils sampled from these sections were tested in the laboratory. The clays tested were essentially tropical products of physical and chemical in-situ weathering of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks under varying climatic conditions. The formation of such soils depends on a complex interaction of various variables such as weathering, erosion, climatic changes, type of original parent rock, local topography, drainage and cycle factors which have been known to strongly influence their engineering behavior. In general, the tropical clays researched and tested were of residual expansive nature formed from pyroclastic rocks. The Black Cotton Soils

tested were of very high swellability with dry densities (γd) greater than 16kN/m3, clay contents >55%, Liquid Limits (LL) >65%, Plasticity Indices (PI) >40%, Shrinkage Indices (Is) >60 and swell pressures >600kN/m2.

& Development in Civil and Structural Engineering

in Kenya

Client: Industrial Development Institute, Japan

Location: Countrywide, Kenya


In order for the Vision to be realized within the designated time-frame,

it is imperative that the targeted economic growth is achieved through

rapid industrialization, enhanced agricultural production and agro-

industry development, booming tourism, advanced education (science

and technology) among other factors. Such goals can only be achieved

through rapid infrastructure development based on innovative

techniques, methods and technologies as a primary driving factor.

This Proposal suggests and emphasizes on the utter need of enhancing

Research & Innovation for Sustainable Development (RISD) in

infrastructure as a top priority area which will form the integral

technological pillar and foundation for rapid industrialization leading to

the targeted socio-economic development.

Specifically, emphasis is made on the importance of designing and

implementing Research Regimes that concentrate on developing Value

Engineering (VE) technologies and materials science that would lead to

appreciable cost-time savings, whilst enhancing the structural and

serviceability levels as well as the overall performance of the

structures.

In order to enhance Research & Development as well as capacity

Building activities in Kenya discussions were held with the Industrial

Development Institute (IDI) of Tokyo, Japan. This would ultimately lead

to the development of design manuals and standard specification

tailored specifically for this region with the possibility of the

Government of Japan through the IDI, sponsoring these activities and

programmes depending on the mode of development.

Position: Lead Researcher/Civil Engineering Consultant/Team

Leader/Chief Projects Coordinator

Various Road Development Projects in Kenya were considerably

destroyed by flood disasters that occurred twice between 1997 and

1998. The first one was between April and July 1997, while the second

one caused by the El-Nino phenomenon was between September 1997

and January 1998.

As a result, extensive sections of the Kangema ~ Gacharage Road and

Bridges were over-flooded and several embankments washed away.

Colossal damage was rendered; particularly in areas with river crossings

due to the over-flooding of the rivers.

These disasters necessitated the undertaking of comprehensive

hydrogeological studies in order to determine suitable engineering

parameters that took into account, the change in environmental factors

and the scale of devastation, to ensure proper redesigning and

reconstruction of a number of sections of the road and hydraulic

structures as well as the carrying out of remedial works and repairs of

the damages with further additional works on protection and hydraulic

structures. Computation of cost implications and extension of time as a

result, including financial and economic analysis, were undertaken.

A preliminary socio-economic and engineering assessment was

undertaken for purposes of determining appropriate strategies for the

Client: Japan Bank of International Cooperation (Fmr. OECF)/Office of the President

Location: Malindi ~ Garissa, Tana District, Kenya


According to the Tana River District Development Plan, one of the major

constraints to industrial development in this region is the lack of basic

infrastructure. The whole district had only 918 kilometers of motorable

roads representing only 0.015% of the total national road network and

one of the lowest relative demand factors of 0.04% based on the traffic

generation and attraction.

In order to promote rapid socio-economic development and integration

to other regions, the Government of Kenya, within the scope of the

1997 ~ 2001 National Development Plan Policy that was set out to

achieve “Rapid Industrialization for Sustainable Development”, aimed at

completing the construction of the 327km Malindi ~ Garissa Trunk Road.

In 1992, the Government of Kenya initiated construction of 129km of

the road protion designated as Section A from Garissa to Hola through

the direct labour method by the National Youth Service (NYS).

In 1995, the Government of Kenya obtained loan No. KE-P16 from the

Government of Japan which was primarily to construct Sections A

(Garissa ~ Hola – 129km), Section B (Hola ~ Garsen – 94km) and Section

works and extension of time were oriented towards escalation.

In order to achieve the successful completion and consequent socio-

economic viability of the Project, additional funds were certainly

necessary.

To realize this goal therefore, the Government of Kenya, through the

Office of the President and the Ministry of Public Works & Housing,

commissioned the Consultants to formulate and undertake the “Tana

By 1996, the Government of Ethiopia had identified the North-Western Corridor constituting the Addis Ababa ~ Debre Markos ~ Gondar Trunk Road as the top priority corridor to connect the main city Addis Ababa, not only to the North, but also as an international corridor through to Sudan and Eritrea. Having realized the importance, and urgency of rehabilitating this corridor, the Government of Ethiopia prepared a detailed design for the Addis Ababa ~ Debre Markos section in 1996. Subsequently, the Government of Ethiopia made an official request to the Government of Japan for Grant Aid to facilitate the implementation of the Project. In response to the request from the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, and having realized the urgency, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a Basic Design Study on the Project for Rehabilitation of the Addis Ababa ~ Goha Tsion Trunk Road under the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The JICA Study Team was then sent to Ethiopia from November 23rd to December 28th, 1997. Although the original request from the Government of Ethiopia covered the section between Addis Ababa ~ Debre Markos, a distance of approximately 300km, single phase implementation was not feasible mainly due to the Grant Aid system of the Government of Japan. The JICA Study Team therefore recommended that the construction be implemented in phases especially in view of the fact that the implementation schedule for the Debre Markos ~ Gondar section was programmed to start in 1998 through IDA funding. The North-Western Corridor (Addis Ababa ~ Debre Markos ~ Gondar ~ Eritrean border) is one of the most important trunk road. It traverses the northwestern part of Oromia, Amhara and Tigre Regions, the highest agricultural producing areas of the country. Forty-six percent of major crops and 45% of livestock (number of head) of the country are produced in the area of influence of this corridor.

Basic Design Concept

Sub Sections Sub-sections were determined by area (city, urban or rural) and topography (rolling or mountainous) along the targeted road of Addis Ababa ~ Goha Tsion between the start point at Km 3.5 to the end point at Km 186.

Geometry Since the alignment of the existing road was basically in accordance with the standards adopted i.e. ASHTO or TRL Road Note No. 6, it was recommended that the alignment be maintained as much as possible.

Road Width During the basic design study and prior to the preparation of the Geometric Design Manual, 2001, ERA (Ethiopian Road Authority) used to adopt a 7.0m cam agency and 1.5m of shoulder on both sides for the major trunk roads. The basic design therefore adopted the same criteria except for the mountainous sections where a 6.5m carriage way and a 1.0m shoulder were adopted. However, for the section km 5.0 ~ Km 10.0 (mountainous and urban area) a 3.0m shoulder on the hill side was adopted.

Pavement Structure The pavement structural design was based on a Research Oriented Design Approach based on the “Comprehensive Study and Design Review of Road Pavements and Related Structures for the Addis Ababa ~ Debre Markos Road Development Project” that was undertaken concurrently with the construction was on-going.

for the Mpata Safari Club Project

Client: Mpata International, Japan

Location: Masai Mara/Nairobi, Kenya


A group of Japanese investors decided to develop a high class resort in Maasai Mara in Kenya and Serengeti in Tanzania. The Project involved undertaking feasibility studies, Basic Design, Detailed Design and Construction Supervision of the Mpata Safari Club on the part of the Consultants who were a Consortium of Japanese, British Kenyans and Germans.

Mpata Safari Club is perched on the hilltop with breathtaking views of the Masai Mara Reserve. Its adventageous location and well designed programs offer guests a chance to experience the environmental beauty. The Clubs unique design is the brainchild of Edward Suzuki - a leading architect in Japan. Guests stay in individual cottages well spaced along the top of the escarpment offering paranomic views. There are 11 suites and 12 deluxe units in Mpata Safari Club, each with seperate bedroom, bathroom and verandah. With emphasis on comfort and a unique combination of interior design, the suites have a lounge, kitchenette but the best of all is an outdoor Jacuzzi with spectacular and breathtaking views of the Masai Marai Game Reserve. The Club has a Sunken Rock Bar that offers sensational views of the Mara River and the Sundowner Bar that is well located to enhance the view of the rising and setting sun. Due to its location on top of the escarpment, the water had to be pumped through a distance of more than 3km at a most critical gradient from the Mara River. These conditions led to complications in the plumbing works that were undertaken by Pioneer Plumbers who were Sub-Contractors. This culminated in the delay in the implementation of the works. Due to this, the Sub-Contractor submitted claims for variations in the works citing that complications had arisen from the topographical nature and site conditions which he had not envisaged well nor taken into account during his bid. Based on the Terms and Conditions of the Contract that had been entered into and signed between the Client and the Sub-Contractor, a

detailed assessment, evaluation, review and analysis of the Contractor’s

Claims was undertaken.

During this exercise, various factors were considered partially by the

Consultants, including the complexity of undertaking the works against

the fair Tender Price that had been quoted by the Contractor.

In their findings, the Consultants determined that, mainly due to the

delay in handing over and commissioning the works, the Client was

actually entitled to a Counter Claim.

Nevertheless, in view of the complexity of the works and the prudent

pricing of the Sub-Contractor, the Consultants recommended that he be

awarded 36% of the Claims.

Both the Client and the Sub-Contractor mutually agreed and consented

the Tana Basin Development Project Phase II

Client: Japan Bank of International Cooperation, Ministry of Roads &

During the construction, the Tana Basin Road Development Project was

devastated twice by flood disasters. The first one was between April

and July 1997, while the second one caused by the El-Nino phenomenon

was between September 1997 and January 1998. As a result, extensive

sections of the road were over flooded and several embankments

washed away. Colossal damage was rendered; particularly in areas such

as Tulu along Section B and Laga Buna on Section C (Garsen ~ Malindi)

due to the over-flooding of the Tana River.

Due to the colossal damage that had been caused by the El Nino, the

Ministry of Roads and Public Works of Kenya requested the Consultant

(CPC) to come up with Value Engineering based solutions for the major

lagas along the 330km long Malindi – Garissa road. Since lack of suitable

geomaterials also posed a problem, it became necessary to develop

methods of improving the material quality besides advising on the

overall supervision.

Dr. Mukabi was assigned the tasks of formulating a Technical Committee

under his chairmanship to undertake studies, evaluation and research

for purposes of ensuring appropriate engineering decisions leading to an

optimum design were realized. It is during this assignment that he

innovated the new Optimum Batching Ratio Method (OBRM) that greatly

enhanced the mechanical stability of relatively inferior geomaterials

and the reciprocal appropriate Method of Construction. He was

therefore also charged with the responsibility of supervising the

practical construction adopting the newly developed techniques. As a

Due to the damage caused by these disasters, the Government of Kenya,

through the Office of the President and the Ministry of Public Works &

Housing, commissioned the Consultants to formulate and undertake the

“Tana Basin Road Flood Recovery and Rehabilitation Project” whose

main objective was to carry out a technical evaluation to determine the

extent of structural damage and financial cost implications thereof. This

assignment was carried out between September and December 1999. ,

whilst the Project Appraisal was carried out by the Consultants between

January and March 2000.

For purposes of accurate and consistent cost calculations, the

Consultant divided the works into “Certified and Remaining Works as at

November 1998”. All the Works that had been revised, completed and

certified as at November 1998 were measured and quantified accurately

on site. The quantities were then subtracted from the total workload,

works.

The remaining works included all components affected by design change

before prevalence of the El-Nino for Section C as well as the flood

damage and improvement prompted by the El-Nino for both Sections B

and C. One of the major factors that contributed to increase in costs

was the realignment in Section C from PK 92+000 to PK 96+404 and from

PK 217+500 to 222+893 in Section B, both of whose criteria had been

well defined. Rasing of embankments and redesign of bridge approaches

were other major factors that contributed to cost escalation.

Due to these developments, the Contractor submitted Contractual

Claims for Variations and Extension of Time.

Based on the Terms and Conditions of the Contract that had been

entered into and signed between the Client and the Contractor, a

detailed assessment, evaluation, review and analysis of the Contractor’s

Pavements and Related Structures for the Addis

Ababa ~ Debre Markos Road Development Project


Authority



Through the request of the Government of Ethiopia, the Government of Japan offered Grant Aid for the rehabilitation of a 182.5 km highway including 19 bridges from Addis Ababa to Goha Tsion and Road Project Development through the Abay Gorge, Blue Nile to Debre Markos, which forms part of the vital International rans African Highway. The necessity and justification to carry out a comprehensive Study and Design Review of this Project is mainly attributed to the following facts.

1. Implementation of the Construction was effected when 25% of the Design Life had elapsed (since the Detailed Design had been completed). It was therefore considered that such vital design parameters as structural capacity, pavement performance index and serviceability levels would certainly have varied over that period of time.

2. Prolonged traffic loading had culminated in increased damaging effect.

3. The pavement structure had deteriorated with the progression of time.

4. The Design Criteria and Project Specifications did not seem to synchronize.

5. The existence of problematic soils, in particular, Black Cotoon Soils had not been taken into account in existing Detailed Design.

6. Slope instability was prevalent in a number of sections along the Road corridor.

7. General assessment and evaluation of the site conditions, alignment soils, nature of subgrade in most sections and Material sources indicated that there could be the necessity to improve the subgrade and mechanically and/or chemically stabilize subbase materials sourced from certain borrow pits.

8. Pavement structural configuration seemd insufficient in certain cases and overdesigned in others possibly due to the fact that the environmental factors and problematic subgrade soils had not been comprehensively analyzed during the stage of the Detailed Design Study.

Authority



The North-Western Corridor constituting the Addis Ababa ~ Debre Markos ~ Gondar Trunk Road as the top priority corridor to connect the main city Addis Ababa, not only to the North, but also as an international corridor through to Sudan and Eritrea. Having realized the importance, and urgency of rehabilitating this corridor, the Government of Ethiopia prepared a detailed design for the Addis Ababa ~ Debre Markos section in 1996. Subsequently, the Government of Ethiopia made an official request to the Government of Japan for Grant Aid to facilitate the implementation of the Project. In response to the request from the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, and having realized the urgency, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a Basic Design Study on the Project for Rehabilitation of the Addis Ababa ~ Goha Tsion Trunk Road under the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The JICA Study Team was then sent to Ethiopia from November 23rd to December 28th, 1997. Although the original request from the Government of Ethiopia covered the section between Addis Ababa ~ Debre Markos, a distance of approximately 300km, single phase implementation was not feasible mainly due to the Grant Aid system of the Government of Japan. The JICA Study Team therefore recommended that the construction be implemented in phases especially in view of the fact that the implementation schedule for the Debre Markos ~ Gondar section was programmed to start in 1998 through IDA funding. The North-Western Corridor (Addis Ababa ~ Debre Markos ~ Gondar ~ Eritrean border) is one of the most important trunk road. It traverses the northwestern part of Oromia, Amhara and Tigre Regions, the highest agricultural producing areas of the country. Forty-six percent of major crops and 45% of livestock (number of head) of the country are produced in the area of influence of this corridor. This entire Corridor is programmed for rehabilitation or upgrading under RSDP-1, particularly Addis Ababa Goha Tsion forming a principal section of this corridor is placed as the highest priority.

Basic Design Concept

Sub Sections Sub-sections were determined by area (city, urban or rural) and topography (rolling or mountainous) along the targeted road of Addis Ababa ~ Goha Tsion between the start point at Km 3.5 to the end point at Km 186.

Geometry Since the alignment of the existing road was basically in accordance with the standards adopted i.e. ASHTO or TRL Road Note No. 6, it was recommended that the alignment be maintained as much as possible.

Road Width During the basic design study and prior to the preparation of the Geometric Design Manual, 2001, ERA (Ethiopian Road Authority) used to adopt a 7.0m cam agency and 1.5m of shoulder on both sides for the major trunk roads. The basic design therefore adopted the same criteria except for the mountainous sections where a 6.5m carriage way and a 1.0m shoulder were adopted. However, for the section km 5.0 ~ Km 10.0 (mountainous and urban area) a 3.0m shoulder on the hill side was adopted.

Pavement Structure The pavement structural design was based on a Research Oriented Design Approach based on the “Comprehensive Study and Design Review of Road Pavements and Related Structures for the Addis Ababa ~ Debre Markos Road Development Project” that was undertaken concurrently with the construction was on-going.

The Addis Ababa ~ Goha Tsion road leads from the capital, Addis Ababa towards the in North West direction to Bahirdar, the capital of the Amhara Region. The overall length of the Project is 182.5 km and is divided into four phases. Phase 1 was the first 2 km (Sta. 3.5~5.5Km) within the metropolises Addis Ababa and Phase II was the next 89.5km (Sta.5.5~95.0Km), while Phase III was 16Km (Sta.95.0~111.0Km) and Phase IV makes up the remaining 75Km (Sta. 111.0~186.0Km) km upto Goha Tsion. Some of the main towns through which the road traverses are Chancho, Debretsige, Fiche and Gebre Guracha. The scope of the work was to rehabilitate the existing road with some upgrading to improve ride ability bearing capacity, strength deformation resistance and Road safety. The final road width in all the sections of this Phase IV from Km 111.0 to Km 186.0 will then have a two lane typical carriageway of 7m width and 1.5m shoulder width on both sides but varying pavement structural configuration due to the subgrade soils, terrain and topographic characteristics that vary with the sections of Phases I ~ III. In addition to a 50mm AC wearing course, there is a variable aggregate base course layer in the over lay portion overlain by a variable layer of subbase for the areas to be extended at the edges of the existing road way.

Project Name: Study for the Enhancement of Structural Capacity and Serviceability Level of the Addis Ababa – Goha Tsion Trunk Road

Client: Kajima Coporation/Japan International Cooperation Agency/Ethiopian Roads Authority

Location: North Western Corridor (Branching to Sudan and Eritrean border), Ethiopia


The Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (GOE) did, within the Road Sector Development Programme (RSDP), set out to achieve Rapid Infrastructure Development aimed principally at Poverty Reduction and Sustainable Socio-economic Development.

In order to realize the above stated goals for the Oromia, Amhara and Tigray regions, which produce approx. 46% of the total crops and 45% of the total livestock of the entire nation, and foster enhanced Regional and International Trade and Relations.

However, following the rehabilitation and widening reconstruction of the Ababa ~ Goha Tsion International Trunk Road, exceedingly exponential increase in Traffic Volume (the traffic volume for cargo and trailer trucks had doubled in a span of just 2 years between 2002 and 2004, for example) and loading intensity was experienced, mainly as a result of heavy trucks transporting commercial goods to Sudan and oil tankers that ferry petroleum products imported from Sudan to Ethiopia. The necessity to implement the project to enhance the structural capacity and serviceability level had been identified by July, 2001. Technical discussions were then undertaken between the Client, Consultant and Contractor whereby an agreement was reached that a Technical Committee, and a Research and Study Team be established. Subsequently, the Research and Study Team embarked on a project to investigate the structural capacity and serviceability level of the existing road at that time (July, 2001) and propose technical measures for appropriate engineering solutions. An internal report of the results obtained from the study was then

compiled into an engineering report entitled "Analysis and Evaluation

of the Structural Capacity and Serviceability Level of the Existing

Road Pavement''.

Based on this report, continuous research, evaluation, analysis and

technical discussions were organized and the results disseminated

accordingly. Consequently, it became increasingly evident that, as a

result of the drastic increase in traffic volume and corresponding axle

loading, it would be necessary to strengthen the existing pavement

structure.

Consequently, the GoE commissioned the Consultants, with the full cooperation and support of the Contractor, to undertake “Study for the Enhancement of Structural Capacity and Serviceability Level of the Addis Ababa – Goha Tsion Trunk Road”.

In view of the prevailing circumstances, the Client, Ethiopian Roads Authority (ERA) requested that a Research and Study Team, be engaged in compiling a proposal that would incorporate technical aspects that can justify the requirement of the enhancement of the structural capacity and serviceability level of the Addis Ababa ~ Goha Tsion Trunk Road. Based on the Monitoring Programme of the transport and pavement structural characteristics initiated by the Research and Study Team, the GoE was advised of the need to source funds for the expeditious enhancement of the Structural Capacity and Serviceability Level of the Addis Ababa ~ Goha Tsion International Trunk Road. The fundamental objective of the project, therefore, was to undertake a detailed and comprehensive study for the enhancement of the serviceability, safety and structural capacity levels of the Addis Ababa-Goha Tsion Trunk Road in order to foster further poverty reduction and increased socio-economic development through connections to Sudan and Eritrea. It is the humble request therefore, of the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia to the Government of Japan to kindly approve the utilization of Ethiopian Birr 128 Million (One Hundred Twenty Eight Million Birr) from the Counterpart Fund for the initial Term 1 construction of 60km double surfacing as part of the total 341 Million (Three Hundred Fourty One Million Birr) required for the strengthening of the 180.5km from Addis Ababa to Goha Tsion. This initiative is crucial in pragmatically achieving the goals stated in (1) above. Position: Team Leader /Sr. Highway & Geotechnical Engineer/Lead

The Gimbothaya (Bahir Dar) International Airport University has several

campuses all located within the Bahir Dar City which is located on the

shores of Lake Tana, approximately 550km north of Addis Ababa and is

one of the major cities in the northern part of Ethiopia. The Study area

covered the zones within te vicinity of the planned highway to the

Airport, an integral part of the Bahir Dar City Highway Network. At the

time of undertaking this Study, it was still a gravel road.

The project Scope of Works was basically to undertake a pre-feasibility

study and preliminary engineering design for the improvement of the

Gimbothaya (Bahir Dar) International Airport infrastructure and the

4.5km Access Road.In general, the gravel road was in good ridable

condition and was not characterized by serious drainage problems. It

was assessed that the hilly terrain that is offset from the Road at an

appreciable distance would not pose any technical, drainage,

environmental and/or construction problems.

The following are some of the conclusions that were deduced from the

Preliminary Study.

1. In order to realize a cost-effective Value Engineering based

design and method of construction, further surveys,

investigations and studies based on both in-situ and laboratory

testing and detailed analysis.

2. For the initial phase of improvement, the existing gravel

pavement may be sufficient to serve as a foundationof a

leveling course of OBRM stabilized crusher-run aggregate and a

5cm Asphalt Concrete (AC) surface layer for faster and more

comfortable accessibility from the airport to the city of Bahir

Dar and vice versa.

Location: Bentiu, Unity State, Southern Sudan


The Leer~ Adok Trunk Road is Located in the oil rich Unity State and traverses South-easterly From Leer to Adok through Flood-prone areas characterized by problematic soils and swampy zones. The road is approximately60km in length connecting the hinterland to the White Nile, which is an important waterway for transporting goods and persons to Khartoum and Juba. The State of Unity, being faced with major logistical and transport problems, required solutions that are Value Enfineering based, i.e., structurally sound yet cost-time-effective. Considering that the country is still rehabilitating and reconstructing, no formal transport routes are available that are economically viable fore importing the much needed and lacking goods. It was established that the alternative for importing such essential goods as cement, construction materials, and other necessities, was to use the Nile river after the goods are delivered in Juba from Kenya. In his case, the cost of goods would translate to more than 300% of the cost in Kenya. The logistical alternative of using the river would cut down the cost drastically. Once the goods arrive at Adok port, they would need a good road to transport to Bentiu, the main town and thus the project to develop the Leer~Adok Trunk Road connecting to the Main Trunk Road to Bentiu and the Adok River Port. Fundamentally, the project involved a Pre-Feasibility Study, within comprehensive geotechnical and hydrogeological investigations as well as preliminary design studies and basic topographic survey mainly for preliminarily determing suitable and proper horizontal and vertical alignment. Preliminary Proposals for Standard Penetration Testing regimes, sounding and geophysical investigations for the design of the Adok River Port foundation design and construction were within this Study.

Measures for the Cost-Time-Effective

Implementation of the Wau ~ Abyei Trunk Road

Project




The Wau ~ Abyei Trunk Road is characterized by various and complicated technical and engineering challenges. The existence of long stretches of flood areas and causeways totaling to more than 60Km coupled with the lack of suitable construction materials and predominance of problematic subgrade materials necessitated the review of the prevailing conditions in order to determine suitable and pragmatic mitigation measures that would realize the expeditious and cost-time effective implementation of the Project. Due to the foregoing, this Study was designed and implemented under “Urgency Status” whereby the following main conclusions were drawn.

1. Lack of suitable construction geomaterials, geological and hydrological complexities and stringent environmental constraints were practically evident.

2. Due to lack of suitable construction geomaterials, the Contractor had been forced to haul materials over long distances as far as 31 ~ 35Km culminating in exorbitant unit costs and overly slow construction progress.

3. In the absence of the expeditious providence of appropriate technical and engineering solutions, the Contractor would be justified to submit claims for variation in price and Extension of Time (EoT), which would continue to escalate and prolong respectively.

Based on the foregoing conclusions, the Study recommended that a research based materials investigation and geotechnical engineering study be undertaken to improve the engineering properties and performance of the readily available geomaterials within 5Km Haulage.

Position: Lead Researcher/Team Leader Dr. Mukabi was charged with the responsibility of designing and developing a unique research regime and investigation and testing programmes that could be implemented immediately to realize applicable results within the shortest period possible.

Project Name: Comprehensive Hydrogeological Study for Lainya ~

Jambo Trunk Road

Client: MoTR, Government of South Sudan (GoSS)



The Lainya ~ Jambo Trunk Road traverses two States, namely; Central

Equatoria and Western Equatoria. The climate of this region is

equatorial with an annual average precipitation level of 1500mm and

temperatures of between 26°C and 36°C. The vegetation is still

predominantly virgin densely populated with indigenous trees, thick

bushes, bamboo forest and mainly tall reedy trees grass. The soils along

the corridor mainly consist of a combination of Ferralsols-Nitisols,

Phaeozems and Flurisols and are eutric all along the corridor, gleyic-

umbric with ferric from Lainya to Wonduruba and rhodic-ferric with

gleyic-umbric for the rest of the stretch up to Jambo. The whole road

corridor is interspersed with Lithic soil sections.

This Study basically involved comprehensive geotechnical and hydrological investigations as well as preliminary Initial Environmental Examination (IEE), including collection, collation, gathering and recording of data and information to facilitate evaluation and/or analysis of parameters related to flow rates, water level variations within water courses, channels, rivers and other water bodies, debri lines, precise catchment sizes, type of soils, land use and characteristics as well as other relevant data and information. During the Study, intensive scoping, soils testing, in-situ measurements and evaluation as well as other field surveys were undertaken.

This Study formed the basis of the design of Bridges and other hydraulic structures along with some basic recommendations derived from the preliminary IEE which had been undertaken.

Position: Team Leader/Chief Geotechnical Engineer Dr. Mukabi’s main task was to design the investigation regime and programme and provide guidance to the Study Team accordingly.

Project Name: Study on the Enhancement of the Subgrade Structural

Performance for Lainya ~ Jambo Trunk Road




Due to the existence of poor soils, problematic geomaterials, the gross

deteriorated road bed conditions, missing links and non-existence of

road pavement in long stretches of sections of the road based on the

results from the “Detailed Scoping and Civil Engineering Study of

Various Aspects of the Lainya ~ Jambo Trunk Road”, it was decided

that a “Study on the Enhancement of the Subgrade Structural

Performance for Lainya ~ Jambo Trunk Road” be undertaken

expeditiously.

This Study basically involved comprehensive geotechnical and soils investigations. Sampling of alignment and road bed soils was carried out to an average depth of 1m and in-situ dynamic penetration tests undertaken at the sampling locations which were designated at 200m intervals staggered between RHS/CL/LHS along the entire 110Km of the Road corridor. During the Study, intensive scoping, soils testing, in-situ measurements and evaluation as well as other field surveys were also undertaken in areas that were considered complex and problematic.

This Study formed an integral basis of the pavement structural design. The results that were obtained from this Study were comprehensively analyzed applying advanced and sophisticated analytical tools and models and employed in determining Value Engineering Ground Improvement (GI) techniques.

Employment of these technologies realized average cost savings of approximately 56% in the earth works depending on the existing road and soil conditions, topography and hydrogelogical factors.

Position: Lead Consultant/ Team Leader/Lead Researcher Dr. Mukabi’s main task was to design and develop the detailed components of the Study and providing guidance to the Study Team and establishing the Particular Specifications and Guidelines for the innovative Ground Improvement (GI) techniques.

Project Name: Gravel Road Rehabilitation Works for Lainya ~ Jambo

Trunk Road




The Lainya ~ Jambo is a 110Km Trunk Road that traverses two States

that have enormous potential of agriculture and the development of

various agro-industries. Most of the areas within the two States,

namely; Central Equatoria and Western Equatoria are also densely

forested with indigenous trees. These States can certainly be developed

into a food basket for the East and Central African Region and are

therefore set to contribute immensely to the socio-economic

development of the country.

The Project Road, which connects to the Yei ~ Juba International Trunk

Road at Lainya to the vital Juba ~ Mundri Trunk Road at Jambo, was also

a lifeline for the SPLA during the 21 years of conflict enabling them to

transport goods, personnel and other necessities to the Western and

Northern parts of Southern Sudan including Rumbek, which was then the

headquarters of the SPLM/SPLA. As a consequence, it was designated as

one of the top most priority roads for development within the

Infrastructure Development Programme of the GoSS.

The Project entailed various tasks including comprehensive scoping, preliminary Feasibility Studies, Research & Development in order to identify suitable Value Engineering Technologies that would be cost-effective and easy to apply, Basic Design Studies, Detailed Design Studies and Construction Supervision.

Position: Project Director/Team Leader/Chief Highway/Pavement/ Materials /Geotechnical Engineer

Extension of Time for the Construction of the Wau ~

Abyei Trunk Road Project


Location: Wau ~ Abyei, Southern Sudan


Wau – Abyei Road Project falls under Phase 3 of the Emergency Road

Repairs in South Sudan. The Contract was awarded to Civicon Limited as

the Contractor and Katahira and Engineers International as the

Consultant. Both teams have henceforth embarked on the ground to

facilitate the completion of the project within the limited contract

duration.

However, the project had been faced with various engineering and

physical factors which offer major challenges to this important road

link. Nevertheless, the Contractor continued to carry out works despite

the fewer daily tipper trips which were being realised as a result of the

increased hauling distance. By the end of July 2007, haulage distance

had reached 31 kilometers and is expected to stop at km 35 (Gogrial

town from Junction to Civicon Base Camp at Kuajok). As a

countermeasure, the Contractor on his part had mobilized additional

dumping trucks and by the end of the month, a total of nineteen

tippers were operational. This effort notwithstanding, the project was

behind schedule with only 41.2% of the Value of works executed against an

anticipated 86.8% as at the end of July 2007.

A detailed Assessment, review and analysis of the Contractor’s Claims

was undertaken based on the Terms and Conditions of Contract entered

into and signed on the 21st day of September 2006 between the Client

(United Nations World Food Programme) and the Contractor (Civicon

Location: Lainya ~ Jambo, Southern Sudan


The 110Km Lainya ~ Jambo Trunk Road traverses rolling to hilly country

with numerous seasonal streams and lagas. Notification of the award

was conveyed to the Contractor, Payii Roads & Bridges Company, by the

Ministry of Transport & Roads of the GoSS on 29th May 2007, signed on

the 8th of August 2007 and awarded on the 18th of August 2007. The

Contractor mobilized expeditiously within two days and commenced

works on 20th August 2007.

The Road Project was basically a Design & Build Contract whose

pavement structure was to be designed and constructed to a structural

capacity whereby it could be upgraded to bitumen standards with

minimal additional costs.

One of the main problems with this Project is that no studies

whatsoever had been undertaken to determine its feasibility, design and

construction Bills of Quantities (BoQs) or any other requirements. A

variation in the Scope of Works, quantities and construction time had

therefore been anticipated.

In view of this status, Kensetsu Kaihatsu Limited were appointed the

Consultants by the MoTR and seconded by the Contractor on the basis of

their vast experience in similar contracts in Southern sudan.

Based on the foregoing facts, the Consultants, within 3 days of

commencement of works, embarked on Comprehensive Scoping and

emergency Topographic Survey mainly of the vertical and horizontal

alignments as priorities. This field exercise, which started from PK

0+000 in Lainya Town at the junction of Juba ~ Yei and Lainya ~ Jambo

Trunk Roads and ended in Jambo Town at the junction of the Lainya ~

Client on 2nd November 2007.

This Study identified the following issues which constituted the main

components of the Contractor’s Contractual Claims.

1. The sources of clean surface water to be used for construction

purposes were very scarce particularly due to the drying up of

the streams and lagas during the dry season.

2. Accessibility to material sources was rather distant and complex

due to lack of existing tracks.

3. The width of the design Road carriageway of 9m was insufficient

for almost 55% of the entire road length.

4. The bush clearing and grubbing works would increase by

approximately 43%.

5. The quantities of the earth works would increase by about 58%

due to additional volume of the increased elevation of

embankments above the abutting land particularly through flood

plains and river valleys.

6. Increase in quantities and sizes of hydraulic structures.

7. Increased drainage works due to the rehabilitation of bridges,

construction of box culvers, excavation of mitre drains, slope

protection, stone pitching and installation of gabions.

Geomaterials within the Vicinity of the Site of

Songwe International Airport

Client: Tanzania Airports Authority

Location: Songwe, Mbeya, Tanzania


In order to confirm, more precisely, the engineering properties of the

existing soils as well as the behavior of the existing ground and

pavement structure, monitoring, technical evaluation and geotechnical

engineering investigations were undertaken. The preliminary results

indicated that the existing ground and pavement structure exhibited

much higher bearing capacity and strength responses in comparison to

the values that may have been considered in the existing design. As a

consequence, the Tanzania Airports Authority (TAA) made a decision to

embark on further and more detailed laboratory and in-situ

experimental testing, technical evaluation, geotechnical engineering

investigations and analyses. This was also in consideration of the fact

that it was most likely that the existing design did not take into account

the pozzolanic cementetious nature of the natural geomaterial in

existence and its immediate response to compaction and the effects of

time related consolidation, thixotropy and creep (secondary

consolidation).

The Study concludes that the naturally existing pozzolanic geomaterial exhibits extremely high geotechnical engineering properties in terms of bearing capacity, strength and deformation resistance and that addition of minimal factory produced Pozzolanic Portland Cement (PPC) astronomically enhances these properties . The Structural Capacity Depreciation (SCDR) Model indicates that, by utilizing this material with only a 2% PPC treatment, the Maintenance Requirement Ratio (MRR) is tremendously reduced to a minimum and that the Runway Pavement Structure will still be intact over the Design Life of 20 years provided that minimal maintenance is undertaken accordingly.

Congested and Problematic Areas in Nairobi City

Client: Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government, Republic of Kenya



Population explosion from 350,000 people in 1963 to 5 Million currently has transformed Nairobi into a candidate mega city. On the other hand, an inadequate supply of the road capacity, road structure and traffic management measures have been causing exceedingly heavy traffic congestion and traffic accidents. Accordingly therefore, based on some of the recommendations made in the Nairobi Urban Transport (NUTRANS) Master Plan coupled with the recognition by the Government of Kenya, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government is reviewing the necessary policies, whilst the Government of the Republic of Kenya has established the Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development mainly to ensure the realisation of the Nairobi Metro 2030 Vision. Within this vision, Nairobi is to be transformed into a world class metropolis with a robust, internationally competitive, and dynamic economy. Through this Office, the Consultants were requested to submit an Engineering Proposal for Subsurface Development and Implementation of Flyovers/Interchanges at Traffic Congested and Problematic Areas in Nairobi City in order to progressively solve some of these problems ranging from immediate, short, medium to long term periods. In this Proposal, the Consultants recommended that Research & Development (R&D) for underground city development that will include modern subsurface mass transit systems, parking bays, shopping malls, amenity parks, be initiated as part of long term programmes, whilst implementation of flyovers/interchanges be considered as short to medium term countermeasures. In this Proposal, some of the major challenges facing such an undertaking are introduced. A preamble is also given on some technologies and concepts that may be further developed to solve some of the geotechnical engineering problems. The importance of advancing comprehensive investigations, testing and analysis in relation to enhanced R&D is also briefly discussed. Position: Highway/ Geotechnical/ Materials Engineer & Team

As part of Vision 2030 the Government of the Republic Kenya has

embarked on an elaborate and ambitious project known as LAPSSET

(Lamu Port - Southern Sudan - Ethiopia Transport Corridor) which entails

linking Kenya's coast to its northern neighbours through the Eastern and

Northern Frontiers of Isiolo, Turkana and Moyale. The $16 Billion mega

project will have the construction of three berhs with associated

infrastructure at Manada Bay, Lamu as the first phase. The corridor

though Isiolo is one of the flagship projects identified under the

country’s long-term economic development programme.

Isiolo Airprt is one of three airports to be constructed to International Standards within this mega project. The as the first phase project, consists mainly of the following components:

Lamu Port and Manda Bay

Standard gauge railway line to Juba

Road network

Oil pipelines (Southern Sudan and Ethiopia)

Oil refinery at Lamu

Three Airports

Three resort cities (Lamu, Isiolo and Lake Turkana shores)

The transport corridor is expected to serve an estimated population of 85 million Ethiopians and another 15 million from Southern Sudan. Once completed, LAPSSET is intended to increase business opportunities in tourism, agriculture and manufacturing. The development, expansion of, and transformation of Isiolo into a green city of the Northern frontier and upgrading Isiolo Airport to international status is an integral component of LAPSSET.

Comprehensive innovative as well as standard field and laboratory tests were conducted to determine various vital geotechnical engineering parameters and soil properties relevant for the detailed analysis of roadbed and subgrade characteristics, pavement structural capacity, bearing capacity, strength and deformation resistance. The results that were obtained from this Study were comprehensively analyzed applying advanced and sophisticated analytical tools and models and employed in determining appropriate Value Engineering techniques that were applied in drastically enhancing the composite pavement structural performance whilst significant cost savings of more than 60%, construction time savings of almost 200%, and immense reduction in the Maintenance Requirement Ratio are to be realized.

This Project, which is on-going, is a manifestation of the most recent

application of the Optimum Mechanical and Chemical Stabilization

(OPMCS) in the design and construction of the runway pavements, taxi

way, aprons and parking bays of the Isiolo International Airport located

in the Eastern State of Kenya.

The OPMCS is one of the Value Engineering Technologies developed by

Mukabi.

The results from the laboratory tests indicated that: a) the UCS was significantly enhanced as the soil particles agglomerate progressively with time particularly for the cemented geomaterial; b) soil particle agglomeration is dependent on the mode of stabilization; c) the effects of geogrid reinforcement are more noticeable with increased agglomeration possibly due to the influence of confinement in increasing the degree of interlocking of particles culminating in reduction of voids ratio, and d) the degree of soil particle agglomeration is higher under OPMC stabilization in comparison to geogrid reinforcement thus confirming the theory that, in comparison to other influencing factors, cementation processes have greater impact on agglomeration mechanisms.

The site location of this project is predominated by Black Cotton Soils

(BCSs), which are highly problematic and expansive in nature.

Consequently, Ground Improvement (GI) was undertaken by adopting

the Moisture Control Sand Column (MCSC) method proposed by Mukabi

et al, 2010b. Both laboratory and field experimental testing results

indicate that, on the average, this method typically enhances the

bearing capacity, strength and deformation resistance of BCS subgrades

by more than five - fold.

RISD and Case Study Analysis on Geosynthetics

Technologies

Client: Materials Testing & Research Department (MT&RD)



Geosynthetics have been widely used for geotechnical and environmental applications globally for the past four decades. New products and applications are routinely developed globally to provide solutions to routine and critical problems. Over the years, these products have helped Design Engineers to solve various types of engineering challenges where the use of conventional materials would be restricted or considerably more expensive. There is a significant number of Geosynthetic types and applications, common types of Geosynthetics used for soil reinforcement include geotextiles, Geogrids and Geocells. A wide variety of Geosynthetic products can be used in environmental protection including Geomembranes, Geomats, Geonets, Geocomposites and Geopipes. Geocomposites are Geosynthetics made from a combination of two or more Geosynthetic types. Examples include: geotextile – Geonet; Geotextile – Geogrid; Geonet – Geomembrane; or a Geosynthetic clay line (GCL). Geopipes are perforated or solid-wall polymeric pipes used for drainage of liquids or gas. Geosynthetics are also used to mitigate: erosion, slope failure, poor bearing capacity, etc. Construction of Geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining walls (GRS RW’s) and Geosynthetic-reinforced steep slopes of embankments has become popular in Asia (e.g., Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and India), following pioneering works in Europe and North America. Among the technologies used to construct these numerous Geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures in Asia, a couple of unique ones that were developed in this region are reported herein. In this Study, literature review on the State of the Art publications, Case Studies, Scientific and Engineering Analyses were comprehensively undertaken.

Position: Research & Development (R&D) Consultant/Chief Technical Advisor

Dr. Mukabi gave guidance on the approach and methodology of this

Study.

Project Name: Detailed Investigations on the Hydrogeological

Conditions of Isiolo International Airport Site for

Design of Hydraulic Structures

Client: Kenya Airports Authority, Ministry of Transport, Kenya

Location: Isiolo, Kenya


Isiolo is located in the Upper Eastern sub-region some 285Km north of

Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. It is characterized by three climatic

zones, namely: i) Semi-arid Zone IV covering 5% of the total area with

precipitation levels of 250 ~ 650mm per annum; ii) Arid zone covering

30% of the total area with precipitation levels of 300 ~ 350mm per

annum; and, iii) Extremely Arid zone covering 65% of the total area with

precipitation levels of 150 ~ 250mm per annum. The average range of

ambient temperatures is between 13 and 29°C. The soils on site and

within its vicinity are predominantly very thick layers of problematic

and expansive Black Cotton Soils. It is practically flat with low lying

plains that rise gradually from an altitude of 200m a.s.l at Lorian Swamp

in the North to about 300m a.s.l at Merti Plateau.

This Study basically involved comprehensive geotechnical and hydrological investigations as well as preliminary Initial Environmental Examination (IEE), including collection, collation, gathering and recording of data and information to facilitate evaluation and/or analysis of parameters related to flow rates, water level variations within water courses, channels, rivers and other water bodies, debri lines, precise catchment sizes, type of soils, land use and characteristics as well as other relevant data and information. During the Study, intensive scoping, soils testing, in-situ measurements and evaluation as well as other field surveys were undertaken.

This Study was to form the basis of the design of Bridges and other hydraulic structures along with some basic recommendations derived from the preliminary IEE which had been undertaken.

Position: Lead Researcher & Geotechnical Engineer Dr. Mukabi’s main task was to design the investigation regime and programme and provide guidance to the Study Team accordingly.

Project Name: Studies on Geosynthetics Reinforced Materials for

Road Embankments and Pavements

Client: Materials Testing and Research Department, Ministry of Roads

Location: Selected Urban & Rural Roads Countrywide, Kenya


On 7th December 2011, Kensetsu Kaihatsu Limited, submitted Technical

and Financial Proposals to the Materials Testing and Research

Department (MTRD) for research consultancy services for some priority

areas within the Ministry of Roads regarding the introduction and

application of research based advanced technologies.

Essentially, the Request for Proposal (RFP) required the design of a research regime that is primarily aimed at developing construction and performance Specifications for Geosynthetics reinforced Geomaterials for road embankments and pavement structures in particular, including design procedures and quality control systems as well as evaluation regimes and procedures for evaluating the performance of existing geo-structures and retaining walls.

From a global perspective the methods of design, construction, quality control systems and performance specifications should ensure that the procedures and techniques are pragmatically applicable and;

1. Cost and time effective predominated with a Value Engineering (VE) component.

2. State of the Art so that they are applicable to inclusion in the Road Design Manual (K) and Standard Specifications.

3. Are particularly tailored for tropical environmental conditions within the East and Central Africa Region.

4. Satisfactorily innovative enough to provide a useful basis for developing alternative and more effective stabilization techniques for Geomaterials, new engineering products, more cost-effective concepts, methods of design and construction techniques which are also environmentally friendly.

5. Provide engineering indicators for quality control, monitoring and evaluation of performance of Geo-structures.

In general, the Consultant’s interpretation of the main objectives is the Client’s wishes to determine the effectiveness and degree of performance and/or contribution of Geosynthetics in flexible pavements in order to determine its benefits mainly for purposes of developing specifications and guidelines for Design Manuals. In this regard therefore, it is an important objective of this Study to quantify this effectiveness and provide a better understanding of the Geosynthetic mechanisms in pavements and other Geo-structures.

Performance-Based Design (PBD) fundamentally entails that, deformation in ground, pavement materials and structures soils along with the reciprocal structural deformation and stress states be comprehensively analyzed by adopting sophisticated methods, particularly for structures with high exposure to seismic action. In performance-based design, the acceptable level of drainage, i.e. the damage criteria, should be specified in engineering terms such as displacements, limit stress state and ductility/ strain limit based on the function as well dynamic loading and/ or seismic response of the structure.

In his Proposal, the Consultant defined the term “performance based” to mean “the contribution of the Geogrid in enhancing the mechanical stability, strength, bearing capacity, deformation resistance, structural capacity, durability, stress distribution characteristics, and secondary consolidation properties of the composite pavement structure that can specifically define its qualitative properties in quantitative terms”. The Consultant further suggested that performance engineering properties of the Geogrids shall be determined based on the scientific and engineering concepts, and unique methods of testing and that the enhancement of the following engineering properties of the pavement structure shall be construed to form the performance based specification of Geogrids in general.

1. Tensile Strength 2. Compressive Strength 3. Modulus of Elasticity 4. Structural Capacity 5. Degree of Interlocking 6. Durability 7. Stress Distribution mode 8. Secondary Consolidation (Creep) rate 9. Reduction of Structural Thickness
