The mechnaical characteristics and compressibility of light weight foam soil are investigated. LWFS is composed of the dreged soil from offshore, cement and foam to reduce the unit weight and increase compressive strength. for this purpose, the unconfined compression tests and triaxial tests are carried out on the prepared specimens of LWFS with varius conditions such as initial water conditions, cement contents and confining stress. The test results indicated that the stress strain relationship and the compressive strength are strongly influecnced by the cements contents rather than the initinal water contents of the dreged soils.
