Earth structures like embankments involve the use of a huge quantity of soil. Major sources of borrow soil are natural hills and embankments which are to be preserved to prevent structural instability and environmental problems. Bulk quantities of soil are dredged out from various waterfront projects, but poor engineering properties limit their use in construction projects. Stabilization of sediments with suitable reagents to use in embankment construction is considered a sustainable approach. With this motive, many studies are being conducted focusing on finding solutions to propose a sustainable alternative for earthwork infrastructural materials. Latest studies are developing engineering improvement of dredged sediments as a solution for the scarcity of earthen resources for construction.
