It is intended as a guide to engineers carrying out design of a road project. A road project can mean either a construction of a new road or an improvement of an existing one or a combination of both. ‘The procedure includes the various activities of work components to be performed and the sequence in which they should be carried out. Within each activity or work component there will be s further break-down into aub tivities, The activities mentioned will be primarily thos: e detailed engines lesign phase, The Preparation and evaluation proceedings of tender have feen included ca ied engineering design phase whicl i activities of road design. Pre- identification, approval, feasibility study and freezing of corridor are suppose been completed “The engineer is thereby permitted to proceed on witt the detailed engineering wever, in view of the fact that satisfactory and sound design is dependent to a large extent on the feasibility study carried out, f outline on the latter will be included. of a road proj abi Detailed elaboration on certain activities such as engineering survey, soil investigations etc. will not be given in this procedure. The engineer is required and expected to refer to written papers and literature on these. The procedure will include and mention as far as possible all the relevant papers and literature. Appendix 1 is a list of the relevant Arahan Teknik (Jalan), Nota Teknik (Jalan), Kertas Teknik (Jalan) and other documents. The list also mentions where the references are being kept. It is to be noted that some of the activities, sub-activities, ‘of work components may not be applicable to a particular project. The engineer is therefore advised to screen through this procedure carefully before attempting to follow it. Figure 1 is a general summary in the form of flow chart, of the various stages involved in the planning and design of roads.aasgcr twenTiFicAtiON 4 Feceuecg se Gen . g Beas ig hart ai —— 2 EE aoe i} wm a; oom Eee Ed = i ; eran a i aT : a an, Yo best, a, sae TAY eT Sa HR apr ‘an oS uke mene Ta asin ae} Tana ea ion Seat .—__]|CHAPTER 2 PRE-DETAILED ENGINEERING DESIGN PHASE References 2.1 PROJECT IDENTIFICATION Project identification means the identification of the need to have a road joining from one point to another or to improve or upgrade an existing road between two points. ‘This is usually determined by the Road Planning Agencies such as the Highway Planning Unit (HPU) of the Ministry of ‘Works or the Road Branch of Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR). It can also be initiated by the State Government via the State JKR or the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) of the Prime Minister's Department. ‘The following factors are usually taken into consideration when identifying a road project :- a) Economic, >) Financial, ©) Technical, 4) Social, e) Political, Environmental, g) Security, and 4) Accident. 2.2 APPROVAL Projects initiated other than those by the EPU has to oe approved and given the respective project sub-head. A paper for this purpose has to be put up through the Ministry of Works (Babagian Pembangunan). The paper shall include the following information; 2) background and justification, ») estimated length of road, ©) class, 4) traffic consus, ) capacity, estimated cost, @) number and type of structures, ) economic value and retura, and {) status of land affected. ‘A plan or map showing the proposed route shall be attached to the paper. Also to be included in the paper are the proposed schedules of work and the financial expenditure programme. 3‘The estimated cost shall be itemised as follows:- Land Acquisition ii, Professional Service iii, Construction iv. Relocation of public utilities 2.8 FEASIBILITY STUDY ‘The feasibility study report is rather identical to the project paper presented to the EPU for approval except that the former are involved with greater details, Cost estimates of and measurement of quantities will be more accurate. For the improvement of an existing roed, the new proposed alignment shall as far as possible lie within the existing R.O.W. If the project is a totally new road, a study shall be made on the various alternative alignments to determine the most feasible one. Below are the various activities to be carried out under the feasibility study. (a) Traffic Census Data on traffic census and growth rate and a study on accident prone areas. This can be obtained from Highway Planning Unit. Separate traffic counts should be performed to obtain more reliable local traffic flow pattern. (b) Capacity A relationship between capacity of road and the number of lanes, lane width characteristics of road and level of service. (©) Class of Road Having worked out (a) and (b) above, the class of road can be determined from the JAR Manual on Geometric Design, ‘The engineer is reminded that roads outside municipal limits are considered as rural roads, whilst those within are ‘urban roa (a) Route Location ‘The route can be determined with the assistance of one or more of the followings: References Lo Traffic ‘volumt 1977-1987 2 Hazardous Roads is every State, Arshan Teaie (Galan) 8/88 Azaban Teknik Galan) 9/88i. Topographic sheet. ii. Aerial photographs ili, Existing and future development plans from the Town Planning Department, iv. Revenue sheet v. Reconnaissance ground survey vi.

In determining the route the engineer shall take into consideration factors such as the ground terrain, waterways, existing properties and subsoil conditions. An estimate of the length of the road in kilometre shall also be made. (@) Environmental Impact Assessment It is necessary to balance benefits from major road schemes with adverse environmental effects due to their implementations. Considerations of the major environmental effects of traffic such as noise, severance, accidents and air pollution should be given in selecting the appropriate alignment. (® Soil Inve Preliminary soil investigation should be performed at areas of deep swamp or suspected rock or any other locations deemed necessary to determine the properties and the nature of sub-grade soil. This should be done with the assistance from Unit Makmal, Ibu Pejabat JKR.

See Chapter 2 on route location. 3.4.1 Improvement of an existing road (a) As built plans available Preliminary ground survey need not be carried out if as built-up plans are available. The engineer shall check’ PP) this out from the Documentation Section. If such plans are available, the engineer can proceed on to the design of the final horizontal alignment and take note of the data or information obtained during the preliminary site visit. 12(b) As built plans not available 3.4.2 34.3 Preliminary ground survey shall be carried out based on the existing centre line over a corridor of about 80m. The major work components are :- i Locate at least three accurate boundary stones to 1. determine the bearing and distance of the origin of the traverse line. ii, Take levels of the traverse line at 25m interval. 2. ili, Spot_ levels of the topography within the corridor e.g. buildings, public utility poles, culverts, fences, drains, transmission towers, ground levels, retaining walls, existing roads, paths, water courses, vegetation etc. iv, Peg out the traverse line stations. v. Establish temporary bench mark, TBM (to be tmonumented). The number of TBMs depends on the length of the road. In general a TBM shall be established at every 2km interval. vi. Check the closing error of the traverse line from at least three accurate boundary stones. Construction Of A New Road Determine the traverse line joining the two proposed end points from the topographic map, by following the contour lines closely. The corridor shall be approximately 80m. However, the corridor may have to be increased depending on the terrain, ‘The major work components are similar to those described in item 3.4.1(b). Plotting The survey data (distances, bearings, levels, outline of physical features) shall be calculated and plotted immediately after the day’s work is completed, onto Al size paper to a scale of 1:1000. The plotting data include both the physical details and contour lines. Contour lines drawn shall generally be of interval 1.2m, again depending on the terrain. 13 References Memorand um of Agreement between Governmen t aad Consulting Surveyor foo Fr Professional Services.344 35, 3.5.1 Assigning Of Work The engineer shall first of all seek the service of the surveyor from Cawangan Rekabentuk dan Penyelidikan or Land Survey Technical Assistant from Unit Rekabentuk Jalan (URJ). If this service is not available, @ private surveyor may be engaged. Note: A private Surveyor may be appointed directly if the cost involved does not exceed $25,000. N OF FINAL NT CONTRI Improvement Of An Existing Road (a) The chosen alignment shall follow closely where practicable, the alignment of the existing road so as, to keep the cost to the minimum and also for the various following reasons: Avoid additional land acquisition. ii, Keep to a minimum any adverse impact on social, environmental aspects, ii, Reutilised existing bridges, culverts, drain structures and even pavement wherever possible. iv, Minimise relocation of public utilities, and in particular the high tension transmission towers - which may not be relocatable in many cases. Nevertheless, considerations of factors (ii) and (iv) may cause a whole new alignment to be necessary; in the case of urban areas,traffic consideration may even make it necessary to provide the road improvement on an alternative alignment, instead of along the original route. (b) The engineer shall check and ensure that his design satisfy the minimum requirement of the following geometric elements:- Stopping sight distance, Passing sight distance, iii, Transition Length, iv. Minimum radius. 14 References Arahun Tekniie (alan) 8/86 Pg. 40 to 45 & 49.3.5.2 3.5.3 (c) In addition to (b) above the engineer shall take into consideration a number of practical general controls as given in Arahan (Jalan) 8/86. struct New In choosing the alignment of a new road the following are some guidelines: ‘The slignment shall follow closely the contours to minimise high cutting and embankment. ii, Bridge length shall be kept to 2 minimum. iii, Where practicable, rocky and swampy areas should be avoided. General Design Steps (a) Fix the coordinates of the point of zero chainage or the beginning point of the project. These coordinates are normally determined reliminary survey or calculated fiom the astult plans (b) Minimum radius and other geometric parameters as given in Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 8/86. The engineer is advised to go for larger values where practical, in order to optimise between cost and safety. (©) Maximum superelevation rate of 10% and 6% for rural and urban road respectively. (@) Coordinates of each intersection point (IP) shall be calculated up to 3 decimal places. This applies also to its bearing and distance and deflection angle, (e) The end of the proposed alignment shall match back to the existing road. A typical example of an alignment for setting-out is as given in Arahan Teknik (Jalan) No. 6/85. wal Of Alignment Before the proposed alignment is finally adopted, the engineer shall discuss and seek approval from the Penolong Pengarah of his/her Section or even the Penolong Pengarah Kanan (Rekabentuk) if the need arise. 15 References Arahan Teknik Galan) 0/88 Pe 50.

Generally the final horizontal alignment shall remain the same as the alignment being pegged out during the detailed survey. If the need arises the horizontal alignment may have to be altered from what has been pegged out on the ground. The engineer is however reminded that any change will affect 4 number of other design elements, which mean additional Work. Hence changes should be kept to a minimum. 3.7.1 Elements in rizontal alignment Pl. The scale and information in the horizontal alignment Plan shall conform to Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 6/85. 16 References ‘Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 6/85 Model Drawing Nos.3.7.2 ‘The following are some guidelines which the engineer shall follow when altering certain section(s) of the horizontal alignment. i. Provide a break to the section which is to be altered. ‘This is to minimise changes to the chainages and cross-section of the other section which are not altered. ii. If the section affected is altered slightly from the original alignment pegged out, the original cross- sections shall be retained; otherwise the surveyor shall have to resurvey the new cross-sections. 3.8 VERTICAL ALIGNMENT 3.8.1 Physical Pai The elevation of the following physical control points lesign where applicable must be ascertained before the of the vertical alignment is started. (a) Starting and end of the project. () Levels of the two ends of existing bridge deck and the gradient; if the existing bridge is to be retained. (© The selection of the design return storm shall depend on the category of road. See guideline on Drainage Design - Part I, Hydrology. (d) Crossing over a railway line. Minimum clearance is 6.5m. Railway shall be informed of this. () Minimum vertical clearance from the electricity transmission lines will depend on the voltage of the lines. See Appendix 2.

An allocation warrant for this amount shall be sent to Unit Makmal. 3.10.2 Conducting Of Soil Investigation Performing of soil investigation and supervision are carried out by the staff from Unit Makmal. A report on the results will be submitted to URJ on completion of the investigation. The engineer shall visit the site during the soil investigation and to indicate to the contractor the road alignment. 19 References3.10.3 Analysis Of The Results 3.10.4 ‘The engineer is required to analyse the results to determine the followings:- (a) Cut or embankment slope and its stability. (b) Necessity (and type) of foundation for embankment, (c) Type of foundation for culverts and structures. (@) Height and width of slope benches. (e) Suitability of material based on the CBR values, moisture content, characteristics and type of subgrade soil obtained. Where the engineer is unable to analyse the results of the soil investigation, he may seek the advice of Unit Makmal. ‘Soft Ground (@) The engineer needs to be careful if the road goes through soft ground for example padi land or swamp, to ensure that there will be no excessive settlement eccurring (both short and long term) after the embankment was constructed. (b) The criteria to be used for settlement is that the residual settlement after opening should not exceed 30 cm in 10 years, Some of the common methods to ensure a stable embankment are :. i. Excavation and backfill with approved material if the layer of soft ground does not exceed 1.5 metres. ii, Displacement of soft material by dumping in crushed rock. ili, Construct pile embankment where the soft ground layer is too thick for the above two methods, If the soft layer is too thick, the engineer may look into alternative alignments. Whatever method is adopted the engineer should always carry out a settlement analysis. 20 References3.10.5 Soil Profile A drawing showing the soil profile and borehole logs shall be included in the tender documents. 3.11 CROSS-SECTIONS & SLOPE STABILITY (a) The slope and width and height of benches depend on the results of the soil investigation conducted and analysed as described in 3.10. (b) Generally for cut section the slope is between 1:1 to 1:5 for normal earth slopes. For cutting in rock the slope is between 1:6 to 1:4. For embankment the slope is generally between 1:1.5 to 1:2. (©) Benches on slope shall generally be of width 1500mm and of slope 1:25 away from the carriageway. (4) All slopes and benches shall be close turfed. (e) The cross-sectional drawings may be plotted out by means of a computer. Programmes currently used by ‘URJ are ROADESM and MOSS. ‘The engineer is required to check the stability of both the embankment and cut slopes before the cross-section can be considered as final. Below are a few of the methods commonly used to improve slope stability. (@) Lowering of ground water by installing sub-soil drains. However, sub-soil drains must be considered for all cut slopes exceeding 2.0m with a high water table, () Soil nailing, (© Retaining walls, (d) Geotextiles, (e) Dynamic consolidation. 3.12 LAND ACQUISITION 3.12.1 Plans for submission (a) Plans for land acquisition shall be forwarded to the Land Office through Unit Pengurusan Projek, Cawangan Jalan. 22 References Nota Teknik (Galan) 1/86 Nota Teknik Galan) 4/38References ‘The details required to be included in the plans for Arahan ‘Teknik land acquisition and the number of copies to be alan) 7/85 prepared shall comply with Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 7/85 'Garis Panduan Untuk Penyediaan Pelan Pengambilan Balik Tanah Bagi Projek Jalan Persekutuan’, (b) In addition to the requirements given.in Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 7/85, the engineer shall have to determine the coordinates of the right of way intersecting the boundaries of lots concerned.
