Abstract

This research studies a possibility of using dredged marine sediment for pavement material substitution. The dredged marine sediment is obtained from Laem Chabang Port, Thailand. Sand is replaced by dredged marine sediment at various sand:sediment ratios are 100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 85:15, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, and 0:100 by dry weight. The mixtures are undergone several tests to determine: (i) index properties, i.e. grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, and specific gravity and (ii) engineering properties, i.e. compaction and CBR. The obtained results are compared with standard specifications for highway materials of the Department of Highway, Thailand. The study shows that the sand can be replaced by the dredged marine sediment of up to 5 % of total dry weight without any significant alteration to the properties of sand. Moreover, the sand can be replaced by the dredged marine sediment of up to 15 % of total dry weight for being used as subbase, 20 % of total dry weight for being used as selected material A and B and sand embankment, and 30 % of total dry weight for being used as selected material B and soil embankment.
