Abstract

Marine clay is a type of clay found in coastal regions around the world. India being peninsular country has large area coming under coastal region. There are nine states and four union territories forms Indian coastline. Marine clay is one of the poor soils which have low shear strength, highly compressible. The natural moisture content of the marine clay is always greater than its liquid limit. Population growth leads to rapid urbanization requires vast lands for the development of commercial, residential, industrial,
infrastructure and transportation but due to lack of availability of lands, ground improvement techniques are required. This necessitated the geotechnical engineers to improve the strength of weak soils viz the marine clay and the expansive soils. The present study deals with the influence of Phosphogypsum and Calcium Chloride on improving the strength characteristics of the marine clays
