Dredged soil is a solid waste generated from the dredging of a river, having low bearing capacity andhigh compressibility. Dredged material in huge quantity poses serious disposal and environmental problems all aroundthe area which puts pressure for its characterization. This material can be a valuable resource for many practicalpurposes such as fill material, sub grade construction, etc. In this study soil samples at four different locations of a floodchannel were collected. Soil tests like gradation, specific gravity, consistency indexes, light compaction, unconfinedcompressive strength, CBR and direct shear tests were performed. The results of four samples were compared and theweakest soil sample was selected. The mechanical properties of the soil were improved using ordinary Portland cementat varying percentages of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% respectively. Compaction characteristics, Consistency limits, UCS andDST values of the treated soil samples were studied. The UCS and DST values showed significant increase withincreasing cement percentage, also the P.L and L.L increased considerably.
