Abstract
Marine dredged clays treated with agents lime have been used as reclamation and filling materials. Dredged clays contain the various organic matters to affect the physicochemical properties. This study aims to evaluate the effects of humic acid on the strength development and microstructure of cement-treated marine clay. It was found that the strength development was governed by the cement and humic contents. In addition, a specific cement content, at which the strength reduction due to humic acid are overcome, existed for a given humic acid content.
