By soil improvement, any structures can be carried on the top of the soil. For this study is aimed to determine the bearing capacity of marine clay that has been treated with a polymer, as one of the chemical stabilizer is Magnesium Chloride (M gCk). The objectives of the study were to evaluate the unconfined compressive strength and optimum percentage of M gC h on marine clay treated with varies percentage of Magnesium Chloride (M gCk) (0%, 2%, 4%, 6 %, 8% and 10%) added to the marine clay at different curing time 3, 7, 14 and 28 days; to compare the result between untreated marine clay with treated marine clay with M gC k on the improvement of bearing capacity of marine clay; and to determine the bearing capacity of the marine clay treated with M gC k using California Bearing Capacity test. By referring of the optimum moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry density (MDD) found from the previous study samples of compacted marine clay was treated with Magnesium Chloride (M gCk) and tested in laboratory for unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test. Results show, the optimum percentage of M gC k used is 4%. Results also shows that the strength of treated marine clay generally increased until curing period of 7 days but decreases with the increases of curing period. The result of California Bearing Ratio test for the optimum percentage of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) treated marine clay which is 4% at 7 days curing periods is 0.72% which is lesser than 1.754% from the untreated marine clay fahmimoksen UTM 80 p.
