Physical properties and compressibility of Malaysian marine clay / Mohd Ashaari Ab Wahab

A comprehensive study of the geotechnical characteristics of marine clays from the coastal region of the Peninsular Malaysia is very important today. In recent years these areas are attracting numerous civil engineering activities due to implementation of projects like land reclamation, coastal embankments, roads, highways and housing. Because of mat it is important to establish a database on the physical properties and the compressibility of the Malaysian marine clays. The general study on the marine clay throughout Peninsular Malaysia has been published by Ramli Mohamad. This study limits itself at a location in Jeram Selangor. Samples taken were tested in the laboratory and duly compared with other marine clays in Malaysia.
