Abstract

A large amount of sewage sludge and other waste materials are produced every year in Singapore. A study was carried out to establish a method to use sewage sludge and other waste materials for land reclamation. Portland cement and/or lime were used as binders. Waste materials, such as copper slag and marine clay, were also added in as fillers. The physical and environmental properties of the sewage sludge used and the properties of the treated sludge were characterized. The consolidation behaviour of the sludge-waste-binder mixtures around vertical drain was investigated using model tests. The study shows that both the geotechnical and environmental properties of the sewage sludge can be improved using the method proposed.
