Abstract:

Civilization is always developed around the coastal regions; these are covered with thick soft marine clay deposits. This clay has less strength and possesses high deformation, low permeability and limited bearing capacity. Due to the poor engineering characteristics of these clays, they pose several foundation problems to various coastal structures. As this Marine clay is widely occupied in costal corridor, it is inevitable to constructing pavements and foundations on them due to the population density. Therefore, the present experimental work aims to investigate the efficacy of Bagasse Ash and Phospho Gypsum in stabilizing the marine clay thereby improving its strength characteristics. Total cost of construction is reduced and also providing solution for environmental problem. From the experimental results it was observed that 20 % Bagasse Ash and 6% Phospho Gypsum combination with marine clay had effectively improved the CBR and UCS values.
