Abstract: Due to the fresh land unavailability for the construction of infrastructure in present time, there are several techniques for the land reclamations. The main idea is to get a higher density of soil at site which finally gives the higher value of the shear strength and bearing capacity. The density can be increase by many techniques. Some of them required removal the water where the soil have a higher amount of the water content because high amount of water in the voids leads to lower shear strength and load carrying capacity. Creating the load bearing column which can drain water form low permeable soil and bear the load of superstructure on the weak soil (stone column,).And there are some other methods which glue the soil solids together and enhance its specific properties using geo materials (grouting, soil nailing).
