Sea and river dredging has produced a large volume of dredged waste over the
years which could trigger geo-hazards including dispersion of contamination from
sediments. One of the ways to overcome this issue is by incorporating it into
geotechnical engineering purposes including the production of concrete for
foundation, retaining wall and highway construction. This research aims to
investigate the strength of concrete made from dredged sediments and to
compare it with the strength of conventional concrete. This research emphasises on
the usage of two types of dredge waste; silt and sand, obtained from Kuala Perlis,
Perlis and Sungai Bebar, Pahang, respectively. The dredged sediments from Sungai
Bebar will be used as fine aggregates while sediments from Kuala Perlis will be used
as admixtures and fine aggregates for production of concrete. The concrete will
then be tested for its strength. As a result, the concrete made from these two rivers
are able to produce the minimum strength requirement for C20 concrete mix. This
enables the concrete mixtures used in this research to be applied in the construction
of foundation, retaining wall and highway. This research helps in reducing the
amount of wastage from dredge work as well as providing a new material source
for concrete
