Composite section

A section where the formation level is partially situated on top of the original ground line and partially below it. The problems associated with the road cutting and embankment sections also affect the composite section. The existence of any water in the cutting area should be especially controlled as this could destabilise the embankment section. The embankment section should be designed and built taking special precautions to avoid post-constructive settlements, avoiding the formation of fissures in the join between the cleared ground and the embankment.
