Abstract:
This study presents the results of experimental study carried out to investigate the Subgrade geotechnical properties of dredged material from Wular lake, one of the largest fresh water lakes in Asia and largest flood basin of Kashmir in the northern Bandipora district 34 km north of Srinagar. Every year thousands of tons of silt is deposited in the lake which is constantly decreasing its depth and water holding capacity. Dredging the heavily silted Wular lake is a key to save it from dying. Its dredging operations generate a large quantity of dredged material posing serious health and environmental problems. Concern over environmental effect of dredging, disposal of dredged material and the increasing unavailability of suitable disposal sites has put pressure for characterization of this material as a resource for various beneficial applications. Its mineralogy and geotechnical properties qualify it for various uses. Therefore, comprehensive laboratory and field investigations were conducted to determine the engineering properties of the dredged material. The results show that dredged material can be effectively used in bulk as a resource for various applications. Thus our study aims at to determine the properties of the material and is this material suitable for subgrade of roads.
