Temp. shoring and compaction
Temp. shoring and compaction
(OP)
My roadway is being constructed in a fill embankment. Construction sequence is proposed to construct half width at a time. Temporary shoring is proposed to protect the embanked roadway (12' higher than existing). While doing the second half how would the required compaction at/near the shoring attained and how is that shoring pulled out? Do anyone share their experience?
Thanks

RE: Temp. shoring and compaction
If you closed the road to traffic - you "might" be able to pull the shoring and then add your fill. I did say "MIGHT"
You could also abandon the shoring in place and simply bury it.
I think a better plan should have been in place before you got to this point.

However - I am guessing you will also get some differential settlement - regardless.

Did the engineer define the means/methods of this phased construction, or is this really a contractor issue?
