Alternatively, soil treatment is suggested to increase the<br>strength of the unsuitable material to meet the constructions requirement for foundation and also to achieve the<br>specifications for development work. In this study, a series of laboratory test has been conducted to determine<br>the potential of lime to stabilize marine clay to form the basis of a strong, reliable land for construction of roads<br>and building. Testing program involves obtaining specimens of marine clays from various locations at Iskandar<br>Malaysia Region, followed by laboratory tests to determine the physical and engineering properties with and<br>without the addition of lime. The proportions of hydrated lime added are 3%, 6% and 9% to the untreated marine<br>clay and tested at 7 and 28 days curing periods. Results show an increase in strength with increasing lime<br>content. In addition, strength also increases significantly as early as 7 curing days and continues for 28 curing<br>days. In agreement with the strength tests, compression characteristics improved with increasing lime content<br>and as time prolonged. Hence, lime is successful and considered effective to improve the strength and<br>compressibility behavior of Marine clay.</p> ER -
