Poster Retaining Structure

The document discusses two case studies comparing retaining wall projects on the Lebuhraya Kajang-Seremban (LEKAS) Highway and the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway. In the first case study, the existing retaining wall on the LEKAS Highway collapsed due to face failure. To resolve this, soil nailing was used to reinforce the wall. The second case study involved an anchored earth wall on the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway that experienced issues with excessive backfill and poor drainage, as well as foundation settlement. These were addressed by improving drainage and properly compacting the earth beneath the wall.
