Tension cracks were observed on the premix road and at some stretches the tension cracks have slump by approximately 0.5 to 1.0 meter. Remedial works that is being carried out use anchored micropile wall. The wall was constructed at 0.5 meter spacing with 12.0 meter long anchors. This paper summarizes the failure investigation works that were carried out on the failure location to determine the causes of failure and the remedial works carried out.
