Abstract:The incessant failed spots in the road pavement along the 27.61km Mbaitolu-Ikeduru-Ahiara Mbaise highway in Imo state, southeastern Nigeria, has necessitated this geotechnical study to evaluate the impact of the subgrade material quality on the road pavement failure. The study entailed both physical and geological assessment of the predominantly sandy to clayey silt Benin Formation underlying the area, as well as field and laboratory engineering tests on the subgrade materials underlying the road alignment.
