Hi
Sediments that are dredged from the water bodies such as reservoir, lakes or oceans are weak in strength and highly compressible, in general. This is nothing more than a waste material. However, it can be treated with certain chemicals such as the Bentonite and OPC(Ordinary Portland Cement) to give it the desired properties of a fill material in back-fills.
It is found that the OPC acts as the binder and provides the strength, while the Bentonite provides the volume and also the strength to the clay. Therefore this treated soil can then be used as the fill, or also it can be used to form the dikes or trenches above the water surface.
Thanks!
