Laboratory Studies on the Properties of Stabilized Marine Clay from Kakinada Sea Coast, India

摘要

India being peninsular country has large area coming under coastal region and also it has been the habitat for considerable percentage of population. The marine clays are generally found in the states of West Bengal, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra and some parts of Gujarat. Marine or soft clays exists in these region are weak and expansive in nature. The present study deals with the engineering properties of the marine clay collected from Kakinada Sea Port Ltd, Kakinada, A.P, India. The Physical &Chemical properties, the strength characteristics and also the load carrying capacity of the Marine clay have been determined in this study before and after stabilization with GBFS and the detailed test results are also discussed.
