AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF MARINE CLAY TREATED WITH LIME AND COCONUT COIR FIBRE

India is a country with a coastal line of 7516.6 km.This coastal region mostly consists of marine clay deposits.Use of locally available materials and soil will be economical for road construction.But in coastal region using marine clays (locally available soils) as sub grade will not yield desirable results due to its poor engineering properties.Replacing soil may not be cost effective.In this experimental study, under controlled conditions through laboratory tests, the effect of Coconut Coir Fibre and Lime as admixtures in stabilizing marine clay has been studied.
