“…Winfield & Lee (1999) noted that the moisture content is influenced by soil particles. These finding is similar with Kuala Perlis DMS, where the moisture content is low (66.13 %) due to less fine particles compared to others studied (Wan Salim et al, 2012). The dredged marine soil has the ability to retain water due to arrangement of the soil particles.…”

Every year, large volumes of dredged marine soils (DMS) are removed from Malaysian water. Dredging activity is needed to maintain and enlarge water bodies. DMS properties are varies depending to space, time and land uses in the watershed. DMS were also reported to be contaminated with chemical and biological contaminants, making the materials risky for reuse. Information on DMS properties, e.g. physical, chemical and biological properties is essential to the selection of a suitable reuse option. This study is focused on the characterization of Malaysian DMS for beneficial reuse. Three samples from different dredging sites and one sample of sediment as a control were used in this study. Physical properties of DMS from Malaysia water were identified and quantified. The DMS were classified as high plasticity clay (CH), high plasticity silt (MH) and low plasticity silt (ML) for Lumut, Melaka and Tok Bali respectively. The results showed that the DMS from different locations have different physical properties. Thus, the characterizations of DMS with regards of physical properties are significant in decision making either to be reused or disposed.

“…This activity has caused short and long terms of negative impacts, such as turbidity and disruption of marine habitats respectively [1,2]. Numerous researchers have extensively studied the beneficial reuse of DMS mainly in construction industry such as capping material for landfill, paving block, blended cement, construction brick and pavement base material [3][4][5][6][7][8]. By reusing DMS, it will provide an alternate management of DMS and act as preventive measure to resolve the aforementioned negative impacts.…”

The use of fiber as soil reinforcement is not new in civil engineering field. In the earlier times, rice straw was mixed together with mud or clay to produce construction materials such as brick and concrete. Conventional concrete mix without fiber tends to exhibit brittleness behaviour. Hence, there is a growing attention on using current reinforcement materials such as steel, polypropylene and glass fibers. It is reported that fiber in concrete provide bridging effect, which transfer and distribute load evenly, thus increasing ductility. Now, similar concept of fiber inclusion in concrete can be applied to the case of problematic soil. The addition of chemical additives such as cement in soil resulted with stiffness and brittleness. As solution, numerous studies have shown that the fiber inclusion in soil have increased strength, permeability and ductility. Due to the many studies of fibre-reinforced soil related to its shear strength, the present study will investigate the compressibility behaviour of the fibre-reinforced soil through oedometer test. In this study, the dredged marine soil (DMS) was mixed together with 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 % of polypropylene (PP) fiber. Two conditions of soil, namely high water content (1.40LL) and low water content (0.90LL) were tested. Samples with 0.90LL water content show great reduction of settlement than samples with 1.40LL water content. The outcome of this study will suggest the beneficial reuse of DMS for engineering application such as backfill material, land reclamation or clay liner for landfills.

“…Other than reused as potential construction materials such as brick and cement [3,4], DMS was primarily used as reclamation fills. Binders and fillers such as cement, lime, bottom ash, fly ash and steel slag [5][6][7][8] enabled DMS to be reused as reclamation fills.…”

Influence of Water Content on the Flow Consistency of Dredged Marine Soils

et al. 2016

Abstract. In present time, dredged marine soils (DMS) are generally considered as geo-waste in Malaysia. It is also known to contain high value of water and low shear strength. Lightly solidified soils such as soilcement slurry and flowable fill are known as controlled low strength materials (CLSM). On site, the CLSM was tested for its consistency by using an open-ended cylinder pipe. The vertical and lateral displacement from the test would determine the quality and workability of the CLSM. In this study, manufactured kaolin powder was mixed with different percentages of water. Cement was also added to compare the natural soil with solidified soil samples. There are two methods of flowability test used, namely the conventional lift method and innovative drop method. The lateral displacement or soil spread diameter values were recorded and averaged. Tests showed that the soil spread diameter corresponded almost linear with the increasing amount of water. The binder-added samples show no significant difference with non-binder sample. Also, the mixing water content and percentage of fines had influenced the soil spread diameter.
