Abstract
Very soft deposits such as peat. marine clays and tin mining slime are .found extensively in Malaysia. Severe problems are encountered when f illing over such deposits. Woven and nonwoven geotextiles have been us ed to assist in fill deposition over such very soft deposits. This pap er describes the desired properties of geotextiles for this purpose, m ethods of placing the geotextile and deposition of the fill. A nonwove n geotextile with a bamboo fascine mattress is found to be most effect ive.
