|5 |Contents of the Research |

|Please elaborate the following topics as clearly as possible. |

|5.1 Research Purpose (incl. Relevance and Justification of the proposed Project) |

| The Mekong Delta is a 40,000-km2 region in the low stream of the Mekong river in the South of Vietnam. The Mekong river forms a|

|system of rivers in the whole this area known as the Cuu Long river (Fig. 1). These rivers provide main system of water way transportation |

|for the Mekong Delta, and now the need of ground transportation becomes clearly increasing. Many rural roads need to be built to serve |

|local people, especially in the flood season. There are thirteen provinces in the Mekong Delta, and these provinces are affected by annual |

|floods by the Mekong river from August to December yearly. The flood causes failures of rural roads and the local governments have spent |

|high cost to repair these failures every year. Thus, it is needed that effective techniques to construct rural roads sustain annual flood |

|impact. For this research proposal, An Giang province, one of thirteen provinces in the Mekong Delta, will be chosen for a field |

|experiment. |

| |

|[pic] |

|Figure 1. The Mekong Delta region in the South of Vietnam (Google map) |

| |

|An Giang province locates at the border between Vietnam and Cambodia in which the Mekong river reaches the Vietnam land and the Mekong |

|river is divided into to big rivers called Hau river and Tien river. These rivers form a network of smaller rivers covering the whole |

|province. The network of rivers provides An Giang people both advantages and disadvantages. One of negative effects of this river network |

|on infrastructure is annual floods. The flood causes damages for rural roads such as embankment slope erosion and some sections of a road |

|cut because the embankment of a rural road is often constructed by filling in-place soil (Fig. 2). |

| |

|[pic] |

|Figure 2. Some damages of a rural road due to annual floods in An Giang province |

| |

|The An Giang rural transportation system is about 3,365 km and there are 1,850 km of rural roads that need to be constructed as soon as |

|possible. The local people will be great beneficial if this rural road system can be constructed and in service. However, with the current |

|techniques, it’ll take years to construct 1,850 km rural roads for An Giang province alone, and the rual roads built using these methods |

|are also costly and less durable, especially with the annual floods. Therefore, an effective technology that can be applied to contruct |

|rural roads economically and quickly is crucial for An Giang province and also for other provinces in the Mekong Delta. |

| |

|The soil-cement mixing technology is a technique mixing the in-situ soil with cement to create a new material, soi-cement or soilcrete, |

|having better engineering properties than those of the in-situ soil such as higher strength and lower hydraulic conductivity. The |

|soil-cement deep mixing technology has been widely used in Vietnam and is providing a new soft ground improvement technique for the |

|domestic market. This technology has advantages such as use of in-place materials and quick construction. However, the soil-cement shallow |

|mixing (SCSM) technology has limit application in Vietnam. This technology mixes the in-situ soil of a surface layer from 0.5 to 1.0 m to |

|produce a new material that can be used as a pavement to serve light weight traffic, e.g., trucks less than 2.5 tons. This technology is |

|promising a versatile technology to construct rural roads in the Mekong Delta due to its fast contruction and the use of in-place soil. |

|Another advantage for this technology is that quantity cement produced by domestic manuafacturers is redundant in the vietnam market (about|

|10 million tons in 2011 according to the Vietnam Cement Association). Thus, this technology is expected to provide local people a cheap |

|rural road construction. |

| |

|The motivations of this research are: (1) which technology and materials can be used to build rural roads agianst the annual floods, to |

|construct easily, to be safe for environment, and to be cheap? (2) How the local people can apply these techniques to construct rural roads|

|by themselves with minimal training? |

| |

|To answer these above questions, this project aims at the following goals : |

|(1) Investigate appropriate cement contents that can mix with in-place soil in An Giang province to create expected engineering properties |

|of soil-cement product. |

|(2) Study suitable thickness of soil-cement mixed (soilcrete) as pavement can support light weight traffic, e.g., 2.5-ton trucks. |

|(3) Construct a 500-m test section of a 3-3.5-m width rural road in An Giang to validate the soil-cement shallow mixing technology applied |

|for rural roads in An Giang. |

|5.2 Expected Output from the proposed research project |

|Practical applications: |

|+ The final technical report will describes the soil-cement shallow mixing technology (SCSM) that An Giang people can use to construct and |

|develop their rural road system by themselves with the least training. |
