Research on Geotechnical Regionalization for Highway

Abstract:

Two level zone index system of the provincial highway geotechnical zone was established on the basis of analysis of the relationship between geotechnical elements and highway engineering. The highway rock-soil type conversion rules and the zone standard of two level zone indexes were set through comparative analysis of the characteristics of rock-soil on the engineering geological map. According to the general principles and methods of zone study, the research framework of provincial highway geotechnical zone was constructed. Under the guidance of this framework, Shandong province highway geotechnical zone was completed and the whole research area was divided into 2 grade I and 5 grade II. The results indicate that the new highway geotechnical zone can better reflect the variation of rock-soil engineering properties in Shandong province. The result verifies the scientificalness and effectiveness of the research framework of provincial highway geotechnical zone and provides basic data for research on highway geotechnical zone of nationwide.
