This paper examines the dynamic response of clays treated with calcium carbide residue (CCR) using cyclic simple shear tests. CCR is an industrial waste having a high concentration of calcium carbonate and is obtained from acetylene gas manufacturing plants. CCR contains useful chemical compounds like calcium oxides, which was postulated to undergo pozzolanic reactions when mixed with clays, forming cementing agents, thus improving the strength of soft clays. The results obtained for marine clays and clays treated with CCR were compared with that of cement, a commonly used stabiliser. The samples were prepared from slurry at 1.3 times its LL and then K0 consolidated, before being subjected to load controlled cyclic testing. Towards the end of the cyclic testing, the samples underwent an undrained monotonic shear load at a constant strain rate. The samples were tested by varying the loading frequency while keeping the cyclic stress ratio (CSR) and loading cycle fixed. The content of the binders used for mixing was 8%, as this content was the fixation point for marine clays obtained using Atterberg’s Limit test and unconfined compressive strength tests. The results obtained suggested that the shear modulus (G) of treated sample increases with the increase in frequency and has little or no effect on pure marine clay, whereas the damping ratio reduces with an increase in frequency of the treated sample. However, regardless of the binder’s type and frequency, G reduces drastically within the first five to ten loading cycles, after which they become constant. In samples treated with CCR, G increases up to ten times, whereas in samples treated with cement, it increases up to twenty times compared to soft clays. Because CCR is a waste material and has the potential to increase the strength of soft clays, it can be reused instead of being disposed of as trash in landfills, which will benefit the environment and the economy.
