SEAP Quarterly Report Engineers Registration Board - ERB supervision of senior engineer. Field data results are attached in Appendix 3. Some of activities in which the trainee participated in the field are; i, Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) tests to determine the strength of pavement layers and the subgrade for entire road section (145.0 km), ii, Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Test (DCP). To determine the insitu CBR. iii, Field density tests (sand replacement method). To determine insitu density for each pavement layer. DATE BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF WORK DONE SUPERVISION ix. To supervise and ensure the sample collected were | transported safe with care to CML for laboratory tests. x. Total supervision of site management. xi, Preparation of draft geotechnical report and submit to senior pavement and materials engineer Problems encountered: | + Rainfall hindered the progress of works | - Trial pits: During excavation some pits on silty Clay soils | were collapsing before attaining the specified depth of 1.5m depth. Technical solutions: = Proposal for use of umbrella during rain. - Proposal to use timber bracing to stabilize pit walls during pitting.
