Abstract: | With the advent of urbanisation and consequent search for more and more habitable land, it was imperative that the large tracts of marine clays, considered inhabitable earlier, had to be reclaimed and developed. These marine clays, wellknown for its high compressibility and poor shear strength, posed numerous problems to the builders and Cochin was no exception. It is only less than a decade since active research work was initiated on marine clays in general and Cochin marine clays in particular. Eventhough some systematic studies are available on compressibility characteristics, attempts to study the shear strength aspects and development of techniques to improve it have been very limited. This work is an investigation on the consolidation and shear strength characteristics of Cochin marine clays including methods to improve the same |
