Peat is formed by the degradation of plants and animals in the lack of oxygen and is widely
known for its very weak geotechnical characteristics. This is the reason to be considered as …

Abstract The Deep Mixing Method, which involves the formation of in situ stabilized peat
columns, is suitable for deep peat stabilization, whereas the mass stabilization technique is …

Peat soil is described as a naturally occurring highly organic substance derived primarily
from plant materials. It is formed when organic (usually plant) matter accumulates more …

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of sawdust content on the engineering properties
of clayey-silt soil. Soil from the district of Büyükçekmece in Istanbul city have been used. Its …

Limited infrastructure development on peats and organic soils is a serious geotechnical
issues common to many countries of the world especially Malaysia which distributed 1.5 mill …

Peat deposits are the partly decomposed and fragmented remain of plants that have
accumulated under water (excessively moistened) and fossilized, and consist of more than …

Peat layers are weak; much weaker and more compressible than inorganic soils, and thus
do not provide suitable support for most engineering structures. The usual methods have …

In this study, the effect of sand content on compaction, shear strength, and compressibility of
fibrous peat was investigated. The sand used for the study is rounded and poorly graded …

Peat soil is a representative material of soil and well known as rich in organic matters, high
compressibility, high porosity and low shear strength. During dry seasons, peat lands will …

Soft peat soils are located in many zones and at a given depth all over the world and are
characterized by their low shear strength and high settlement. It can also cause progressive …
