Malaysiahas not yet experienced a totally severe levee failure as what have happened in other countries. However, flood has always been the major problem inMalaysiacaused by several factors including weather condition, man-made and also including levee or bund failure. Therefore, in order to produce a new alternative to improve the structures of levees and river banks, this study on preliminary investigation of soil-cement piling is done to see the possibility of it to be used in the strengthening of levee or bund and river banks. The investigation focused on determining suitable soil-cement ratio to produce soil cement pile encased in PVC pipes in terms of axial capacity. The results show that the soil-cement mixture with 11% cement ratio produced the reasonable pile axial/compressive capacity.Â
