Strength Development of Lime and Cement-Treated Marine Clay under Ponding Conditions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783668516915)

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, language: English, abstract: In this study, marine clay will be studied by mixing lime and cement in order to determine the strength development especially under ponding condition. The sample is classified based on AASTHO and USCS classification systems by using the Atterberg limits test (liquid limit and plastic limit) and the sieve analysis test, whereas Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) and the California Bearing Ratio test (CBR) were conducted to determine the strength before and after adding different percentages of lime and OPC cement. Treating marine clay is important for further purposed in construction and other infrastructure. Marine clay is considered as soft clay that can not resist heavy load and it found both in the littoral and in a few seaward ranges. The objective of this study is to determine physical and engineering properties of marine clay collected from Kuala Perlis, Malaysia, to investigate the improvement of strength of marine clay treated with lime and cement and investigate the long term effect of lime and cement in treatment marine clay under ponding condition.
