| Summary: |
A series of soil investigation including laboratory and in-situ tests has been carefully done to expand the
understanding of marine clay behavior around the coastal region of Malaysia. Around this country coastal
region, several researches had been conducted to investigate the soil properties of marine clay soil. Due to
rapid development in this developing country, there are a great number of construction involving marine
clay soil at the coastal region. Deformation of marine clay soil is one of the important factors that engineers
need to predict before the construction began and a lot of studies on clay deformation had been conducted.
However, the studies of long term deformation of soil or creep is certainly been neglected. The deformation
of soil due to creep condition over the constant load is a major challenge for soil engineering. In
geotechnical engineering studies, soil will deform over time when it is subjected to certain loading. Thus,
the author highlight the interest to study the geotechnical properties of marine clay at Sarawak Field and
creep behavior of this marine clay sample under various constant loading where oedometer tests were
conducted to determine the creep pattern in marine clay sample. |
