INTRODUCTION

The Trial Embankments Malaysia programme was initiated in 1987 by Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia and it comprised fully instrumented full scale prototype embankment trials involving 14 different ground engineering techniques. The results of this trial programme were presented at the International Symposium on Trial Embankments on Malaysian Marine Clays in Kuala Lumpur on 6 to 8 November 1989.

The Geotechnical Engineering Technical Division of The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM GETD) is hosting the Symposium on Practical Applications of Ground Engineering for Embankments on Soft Soils and Exhibitions, in conjunction with the 31st Anniversary of the Trial Embankments Malaysia (TEM) at Muar, in Kuala Lumpur.

The Symposium will help delegates understand the technologies and techniques for soft soil engineering necessary for satisfactory construction of embankments (or earthworks), especially to support high speed transportation facilities, over soft foundation soils comprising:

(a)    Science and soil mechanics for soft soil engineering
(b)    Issues concerning engineering, construction and performance
(c)    Design and applications of ground engineering techniques and innovations
        for embankments on soft soils
(d)    Best practice in construction techniques and sustainable ground engineering
        of soft soils
(e)    Case studies on performance and behaviour of constructed works
(f)    Maintenance and rehabilitation of facilities constructed over soft soils
(g)    Challenges of long term maintenance of instrumentation and settlement
        prediction techniques
(h)    Other related geotechnical soft ground engineering

The Symposium aims at promoting the sharing of scientific knowledge, experience, skills, ideas and achievements in the designing, financing and contracting as well as construction, operation and maintenance and the rehabilitation of embankments for high speed transportation facilities amongst the ASEAN and other countries on an organised basis and with structured aims.  

The Symposium shall also present the latest update on monitoring measurement data and behaviour of various surviving schemes that are maintained at the 33 years old world famous TEM program. Interested authors are invited to submit Abstracts and Papers.
