Site Description
The under developing site is situated at a hilly area and the surrounding is covered by
forest. The highest level of the hill in the area we proposed is about 45m while the lowest
level of the hill is less than 30m. The site location that has chosen by us to begin the
proposed project is not very steep and suitable to build building on there. The condition of
the land is good compare to other area.
This site was chosen because of its location in the university area. This is to
facilitate students and enable students to move to the faculties and colleges smoothly.
This location is close to the existing road which is near the laboratories of Civil and
Structural Engineering Department.

EARTHWORK
2.1
INTRODUCTION
Earthworks are engineering works created through the moving or processing of parts of
the earth's surface involving quantities of soil or unformed rock. The earth may be moved
to another location and formed into a desired shape for a purpose. Most of earthworks
involves machine excavation and fill or backfill. The earth may be formed into a desired
shape for a purpose. The purposes of earthwork are the creation of engineering works
from the soil (such as dams, railroads, highways, canals, channels, and trenches), the
laying of foundations for buildings and structures which are erected from other materials
and the levelling of areas under development for building.
2.2
PLATFORM LEVEL
In this project, we determine the platform level value closer to the ground level to
preserve the environment. First of all, we define the road level. This value is calculated
from the existing highway using slope limit of 6%. After completing calculating the road
level at all points in the project area, then we determine the platform level value.
The platform level selected is higher than the road level. This is because to
prevent water from entering the building. In this project, there are several levels that are
staggered. We did it to ensure sustainable development in the area. After we got all the
values needed, then we started to calculate the cut and fill value.

reduction of grade along a route or elevation of the route above water, swampy ground, or
areas where snow drifts frequently collect. Fills can also be used to cover tree stumps,
rocks, or unstable soil, in which case material with a higher bearing capacity is placed on
top of the obstacle in order to carry the weight of the roadway or railway and reduce
differential settlement.

cell). With these values the average depth of cut or fill required on each cell of the grid is
calculated, and the volume for each cell is obtained by multiplying the depth by the cell
area. Then the total cut and fill volumes can be estimated by sum up the volumes for each
cell.
Advantages of the grid method are that the basis of the estimate can be fully
summarised on the site drawings, which presents a very clear summary of the calculations
for others to check.
2.3.1.2 Cross Section Method
By using AutoCAD, we can produce the land profile which will allow us to view the
existing ground level, proposed level and chainage. Depth of cut and fill for a particular
section can be shown. For each of the cross section, the area of cutting and filling is
determined. The volume between each pair of sections is estimated by multiplying the
area of cut or fill area of the two sections by the distance between them. In order to
compute the cross section method, the minimum section required is two.
The advantages of this method is that cross sections are generated in the process.
These provide a useful visual summary of the estimation, which present the cut and fill
depths across the project in a very clear way.

Slope protection structures help to stabilize the slope, to reduce the velocity of surface
runoff and raindrop impact, to prevent erosion as well as last a lifetime in protecting
surrounding properties from damage and people from injury if they are maintained in a
good and functional condition at all times. Various type of slope failures such as
13
landslide, debris flow and embankment failure occur frequently in Malaysia along these
road and its vicinity. Proper procedure of slope protection should be applied for planning
and designing slope protection methods.
The code and guidelines using in this project are:
1. Guidelines for Slope Design JKR 21500-0011-10
2. BS 5930 Code of Practice for Site Investigation
3. BS 6031 Code of Practice for Earthworks

permanent works.
Sprayed concrete (shotcrete) protection by applying a spraying mortar onto
surface of slope.
Masonry or stone pitching lay stone rubble or block (with filter layer underneath)
onto surface to protect slope from weathering
14
In general, rigid surface may create a very awkward appearance. Besides, the
surface is highly impermeable thus weep holes are required for draining out of the ground
water to avoid the development of high water pressure behind the slope
2.5.2
Most rock slopes need some forms of treatment to ensure continued stability.
Improvement methods include:
1. Scaling loose blocks or boulders to be removed from exposed rock surfaces, this
is usually done by manual method.
2. Construct buttress support this is concrete or masonry gravity structure use to
retain the unstable rock mass
3. Dentition exposed soft material in a rock face be trimmed back. The resulting
slot be filled with filter material and protected by masonry or concrete to prevent
erosion.Protection and treatment to Rock Slope
4. Sprayed concrete apply concrete protection to zones of weak or highly
fractured rock faces by spray-on method.
5. Dowel a hole is drilled and provide untensioned steel bars, usually 25mm to
35mm dia. and 1m to 3m long, to stabilize a weak rock zone. The hole would be
grouted afterward.
6. Rock bolt/nail this is tensioned bar inserted into rock forming a short anchorage
zone in rock so that an unstable slope area being reinforced by tension. Typical
rock bolts are 25mm to 40mm in dia. 3m to 6m long, and have a tensile workign
load around 100kN.

CHAPTER III
ROAD CONNECTION
3.1
INTRODUCTION
Building road connectivity is important for any construction. Road connectivity should be
planned well to ensure any construction can run smoothly. It also important for the road
connection to the facilities after the construction is finish is well planned. The efficiency
of the project is affected by the proper planning of access roads to the site and within the
site. The better planning will result in the smooth flow of entry and exit of vehicles.
3.2
ROAD STANDARDS
16
The design standard is classified into seven groups (R6,R5, R4,R3,R2,:R1 & R1a)
for rural areas and into seven groups (U6,U5,U4,it3,U'2,U1,& Uta)for urban areas. These
are in descending order of hierarchy. Roads which function to provide long distance
travel, will require higher, design speeds whilst road which serve local traffic, where the
effect of speed is less significant can have a lower design speed. Also roads with heavier
traffic will be provided with a higher standard.
3.3
in conjunction with the Highway Planning Unit of the Ministry of Works. If there is an
overlapping of function, the ultimate function of the road shall be used for theselection
criteria.
The location of a road and its design are considerably influenced by the
topography,physical features, and landuse of the area traversed. Geometric design
elements such as alignment, gradients, sight distance and cross section are directly
affected by topography, and must be selected so that the road designed will reasonably fit
into those natural and man-made features and economiseon construction and
maintenance.
For this particular project, we will consider to use U2 standard of road. U2
standard of roads provides the lowest geometric standard for two way flow. It is applied
only to local traffic with low volumes of commercial traffic. The construction of our
building situated in urban area but not dense populated, so it is proper to use U2 standards
type of roads.
3.4
in the geometric design of roads. The speed of vehicles on a road depends, in addition to
capabilities of the drivers and their vehicles, upon general conditions such as the physical
characteristics of the highway, the weather, the presence of other vehicles and the legal
speed limitations. The Speeds are selected to meet the needs of the road to fulfill its
function. Thus roads which are planned to provide long distance travel will be designed
with a higher speed while those which provides short distance travel can be given a lower
design speed.

distribution system.
To minimize interruption of supply in the event of pipe burst.
Capable of supplying emergency requirements such as fire.
To provide pipe network that is durable and economic.
To ensure minimal disturbance to traffic while repairing or in any upgrading
work.
20
3.2
In water distribution system there are some component that make the distribution system
completed and can supply water to the consumer. The first component is tanks. There is
two type of tanks, suction tank that act as temporary tank after water is suck from the
supply source and the other tank in storage that has the purpose to storage the water
before it distribute to the consumer. Open channel also one of the water distribution
system. It acts as water supply source.
The next component of this system is pipeline network. Two different types of
pipeline network, main delivery pipeline network and consumer pipeline network. The
main delivery pipeline focus on flowing water through each component whereas the
consumers pipeline network focus more on delivering water for the usage of the
consumers. Last component of the system is pumping station to pump the water from
lower altitude to the higher altitude.
3.3
There is 3 different type of water distribution system; gravity, direct pumping and
combination of pumped and gravity.
21
For gravity system, the source of water supply is at higher elevation relative to the
demand zones. There is no pumping required for this type of system thus use less energy.
For direct pumping system, the treated water from water supply is pumped direct
to the distribution system and consumers. This system is constructed normally for small
or temporary supply.
The final system is the combination of pumped and gravity system. Treated water
from water treatment plant is pumped to balancing tank or service tank. Then the treated
water is then gravitated to consumers from the service tanks. Our construction site will
use this system after referring to our site topography.
22
3.4
There are four type of water reticulation or consumers pipe network design; branch or
grid design, loop design, ring or circular design and radial design. For this particular
project we will use loop pipe network design to design the water reticulation. Loop
network is an upgrade to branch network with closed loop. We choose this type of design
because its minimized areas affected by interruptions. It is much easier to manage the
emergency (fire) flow regulation and head loss is relatively very low within the network.
There is also no or few locations with stagnant water.

CHAPTER V
4.1 INTRODUCTION
In Malaysia, sewerage system consist of public sewerage systems and private onsite system. The former to be operated and maintained by Indah Water Konsortium
(IWK), while the latter will be by others, e.g. developers of the owner of the facilities. A
sewerage system has traditionally been considered to compromise basically of sewer
networks and a treatment plant.
Sewerage refers to the infrastructure that conveys sewage. It encompasses
components such as receiving drains, manholes, pumping stations, storm overflows, and
screening chambers of the combined sewer or sanitary sewer. Sewerage ends at the entry
to a sewage treatment plant or at the point of discharge into the environment. Sewerage
system, network of pipes, pumps, and force mains for the collection of wastewater, or
sewage, from a community. Modern sewerage systems fall under two categories:
domestic and industrial sewers and storm sewers. Sometimes a combined system provides
only one network of pipes, mains, and outfall sewers for all types of sewage and runoff.
The preferred system, however, provides one network of sewers for domestic and
industrial waste, which is generally treated before discharge, and a separate network for
storm runoff, which may be diverted to temporary detention basins or piped directly to a
point of disposal in a stream or river.
24

iii)
Treatment plants are normally located at a low point (near a river or lake, for
example) in order to provide gravity flow into the collection systems at the plant site, the
wastewater is pumped to an adequate height when topography dictates, at which time it
will flow by gravity through the various treatment units. Pumping stations are also
equipped with a wet well that intercepts incoming flow and tends equalize pump loading.
Pumping stations are usually located after bar screens and many times are located after
grit removal, primary sedimentation, or even complete treatment. The objective is to
remove the coarse solids, grit, and organic solids prior to pumping, because these solids
often present operational difficulties at the pumping station. However, the cost of
construction and operation of these units deep in the ground must be weighed against the
cost of pumps that are designed to handle solids, with the treatment units above the
ground.

CHAPTER VI
DRAINAGE SYSTEM
5.1
INTRODUCTION
Water flowing overland during and immediately following a storm event is called storm
water runoff. Under the effect of gravity, water flows towards sea level through
depressions and channels or by sheet flow over flat terrain. The drainage system may
consist of natural features, manmade features, or a combination of both.
Natural drainage systems are defined by the topography of an area. The largest
feature is the drainage basin or watershed. The boundary of a basin is referred to as the
basin divide. The basin divide is a line where the natural land elevation directs runoff
within the basin toward a common major drainage feature. A major drainage feature is
referred to as a receiving body and smaller features are tributaries.
Manmade drainage facilities features are designed to detain, store, or convey
storm water runoff. Swales, ditches, canals, and storm sewers are typical conveyance
structures, which collect storm water runoff and direct it toward downstream receiving
facilities. Storm water storage structures are classified as either detention or retention
facilities. Detention facilities are designed to temporarily impound runoff and release it
gradually to downstream portions of the drainage system through an outlet structure.
Retention facilities are impoundments, which release storm water by evaporation and
percolation, with no direct discharge.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Plan the most efficient way of intercepting the water, which could be lateral drains
along the length of the path, with frequent culverts to disperse the water on the
The velocity of flow in a drain shall not be lower than 1.0 m/s for self-cleansing action to
take place. However, the flow rate during dry weather may fall to a low level where this
minimum velocity cannot be achieved. The problem can be solved by introducing a small
channel in the drain to confine the dry weather flow to a smaller flow section.
ii)
Maximum Velocity
The velocity of flow in a drain shall not be too great to cause excessive scouring or
hydraulic jumps. Hence the velocity of flow in a concrete-lined drain shall be limited to a
maximum of 3.0 m/s or below the critical velocity, whichever is lower. For an earth
stream, the maximum velocity shall be limited to 1.5 m/s. Further limitation of the
maximum velocity shall be complied with when specified by the Board.
29
iii)
Sub-critical Flow
Drains are designed to carry sub-critical flows. Critical state of flow exists when the
Froude Number is equal to one. An open channel flow at or near the critical state shall be
avoided as under such a condition the water surface is unstable and wavy. In order to
secure greater flow efficiency, channel flow shall be designed so that the Froude Number
shall fall within the range from 0.8 decreasing to such minimum value as to achieve a
practical flow depth and permissible flow velocity.
iv)
Freeboard
Freeboard refers to the depth from the top of the drain (cope/bank) to the top of the water
surface in the drain at design flow condition. Sufficient freeboard shall be provided to
prevent waves or fluctuation of the water surface from overflowing the cope/bank.
Generally, a depth of freeboard equivalent to 15% of the depth of the drain is required.
