concluded that applying a systematic valueengineering process can be beneficial to develop cost effective design alternatives. Value Engineering studies specifically targeting for this problem are absent from the field. Thus, the goal of this study is to supplement this knowledge gap by applying a systematic value engineering process to an expansion project on soft ground to
demonstrate the benefits of performing value engineering.The value engineering process and design alternatives as
applied in this study are expected to serve as a guideline for engineers and decision makers in roadway expansion
projects on soft ground
