The soils which exist in these coastal regions are Soft Marine Clays formed by the deposits of generally weak and expansive in nature. These are problematic soils due to their low strength, swelling and shrinkage characteristics and can be utilized only after stabilizing for the construction pavements, foundations, canal lining and back fill material for earth retaining structures etc. Many attempts were made in the past to improve their strength characteristics by stabilizing with various industrial wastes. The present study is an attempt to utilize the granulated blast furnace slag, which is a byproduct of steel plants, as an admixture to stabilize the marine clays. Tests for compaction properties, C. B. R and swell tests has been conducted on the GBFS at an optimum percentage with the marine clay to study the performance of GBFS in the pavement sub grade and in foundation soil beds.
