A cut slope has been proposed to widen the existing road as shown in Figure below. Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) intent to upgrade the road from Rawang to Bestari Jaya. Based on the JKR requirement, for the cut slope should be more than 1.3. Check whether the Factor Safety (FS) for proposed cut slope meet the JKR requirement. Recommend the solution if the FS not meet.

A two lane single carriage-way is to be designed for a design life period of 15 years. Total two way traffic intensity in the year of completion of construction is expected to be 2000 commercial vehicles per day. Vehicle damage factor = 3.0. Lane distribution factor = 0.75. Assuming an annual rate of traffic growth as 7.5%, the design traffic, expressed as cumulative number of standard axles, is
Q2 /a/ There was a need to know the volumes traffic for a rural project where 24 hrs. flows were counted on Thursday, Friday and Saturday in December as follow, Thursday = 8000, Friday = 8000 and Saturday = 10000. Q2 /b/ Design data is required for improvement of two – lane of two way highway with central reserve. The current traffic in 2016 expressed by AADT is 3000 vehicles. The improved road with a design life of 20 years will opened to traffic in 2021, the estimated annual growth rate of traffic is 8%, K-factor is 12% of AADT and D (Directional distribution) is 55% of total traffic. Find DDHV.
