A 3.2 kilometer section of the Swat Expressway in Pakistan has been affected by landslides. The National Highway Authority of Pakistan is rehabilitating this road section by designing a retaining wall structure to mitigate landslide hazards. Engineering students are asked to propose and design a suitable breast wall structure considering site conditions and design codes. The maximum backfill height is 20 feet and the backfill material is silty sand. The assignment is due on April 10th and will be assessed based on report format, teamwork, problem-solving approach, and design accuracy.
