This article analyzes the differential settlement of new and old roadbeds after widening and its characteristics based on a highway reconstruction and expansion project case study. The research proposes a subgrade settlement control standard that states that the maximum differential settlement value should be less than 5 cm when the embankment fill height exceeds 20 m. Similarly, the maximum differential settlement value should be less than 10 cm when the embankment fill height does not exceed 20 m. The findings of the study can provide a useful reference for the design of roadbed widening in highway reconstruction and expansion projects.
