WBM, black cotton clayey soil, drainage, cross section, longitudinal section, earthworkAbstract
This paper involves widening and strengthening of road network starts from Karcheliya-Bartaad -Kharvan-Dedvasan in
MahuvaTaluka, Surat District, and Gujarat. The path is 0/0 to 9/45 km long and 3.75 m wide at present. The proposed width of the road is
to convert the existing road from 3.75 m to 7.00 m. The work includes topographic survey, geotechnical investigations, traffic survey,
earthwork calculations, geometric design of elements, drainage design and protection wall required as per standards to prepare a
detailed project report. The soil of the area consists of black cotton soil that needs stabilization by using admixtures.The outcome of the
study improvesthe strength and drainage condition of the road as well as the smooth flow of vehicles as a part of our study. The cost of
overall road section is Rs.7,55,70,168.04.
