The Compression Behaviour of Intact Marine Clay in Malaysia

Recent development in economic and the search of new energy has brought to the usage of area with plenty of marine clay. This soil creates several complexities in geotechnical design due to high compression behaviour and low bearing capacity. 8 oedometer tests were performed in this project to st...
