Strength Development of Lime and Cement-Treated Marine Clay under Ponding Conditions

Technical Report from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - Geotechnology, grade: B+, , language: English, abstract: Treating marine clay is important for further advancement in construction and other infrastructure. Marine clay known as sort of clay found both in the littoral and in a few seaward ranges. Based on the objective of this study, the sample will be classified based on AASTHO and USCS classification systems by using Atterberg limits test (liquid limit and plastic limit) and sieve analysis test, where Unconfined Compressive Strength test (UCS) and California Bearing Ratio test (CBR) tests were conducted to determine the strength before and after adding different percentages of lime and OPC cement.
