Abstract :
Damage of structures and road beds due to expansive soil are common in Indonesia. One example is the deterioration of a road section at Sta. 8 + 127 of the Purworejo-Wates Highway. This Technical Note presents the investigation of the cause of the deterioration of the road bed. The author concludes that the sub grade is an expansive soil and the swelling pressure is able to lift the overlaying pavement and cause considerable cracking.
