Samenvatting
As part of a study of aspects of normal road-building practice in tropical countries the levels of compaction achieved on earthworks at the new international airport at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, were investigated. The study shows that given efficient site management, with particular emphasis on the minimising of the effects of adverse weather conditions, high states of compaction can be consistently obtained in a wet tropical climate on residual sandy clay soils.
