Abstract At present , the fresh water availability is very important factor specially in coastal areas the ground water table providing with sea water . If we utilize the waste water nothing but sea water is used as parital replacement to the fresh water for the construction of subgrade soil for flexible pavements ,we will reduce the utilization of fresh water to the construction works as well as economical for transportation of fresh water to construction site. Sub grade is a component which can taken all compression loads from sub base, base and surface courses and transfer to it to below the ground surface. This paper deals with the sub-grade properties using sea water as partial replacement to fresh water in coastal areas. In order to determine the properties of soil by taking various percentages I.e, 10%,20%,30%,40% and 50%of salt water as partially replaced to normal water. In this study, Proctor’s compaction tests, core cutter test,Atterberg limits and CBR soaked and un-soaked tests are conducted on locally available soil with sea water to normal water. For this study it is identified that the engineering properties of the soil like void ratio,posrosity,degree of saturation does not loose their characterstics in all conditions. The soil with at optimum value is 40% of sea water has CBR soaked value is obtained 6.83% and un-soaked value is obtained 7.0% is just increased when compared with conventionally soil.
