The effect of addition of flocculant (Calcium Hydroxide) and dispersant (Sodium Hexameta Phosphate) agents on fine grained soil has been studied with particular reference to residual strength. The type of chemical influences to great extent, the residual strength whereas the strength is independent of the percentage of chemicals. The soil with a flocculant shows a higher peak and residual strength than that with a dispersant. The state of consolidation, viz., normally or overconsolidated does not affect the residual strength, but shows high peak values for overconsolidated soils. Moreover, the change in residual strength for different rates of strain and initial water content is insignificant for the rates of strain adopted.
