| Abstract | The main aspect of the laboratory tests is to evaluate the geotechnical parameters needed for the selection of around improvement methods as a remedial work for a 10 m height embankment which was constructed on a thick soft silty clay layer. The lack of sufficient in-situ measurements and the sample quality, index properties which is not affected by sample disturbance can be taken as the important indication in comparing the basic engineering behaviour in other similar site . The sites chosen for comparison are Thon Buri - Pak Tho Highway, Banqkok and Muar Flats, Malaysia where the sites are undergoing an improvement scheme. The purpose is to study the similarity in engineering behaviour such that to provide relevant information for the proper selection of geotechnical parameters. Thus, preliminary of advantages and disadvantages for the applicable of around improvement methods in Brunei have been described . At present . a quick and efficient method in reducing differential settlement for remedial work is the use of embankment piles. |
