Engineering properties of stabilized tropical peat soils

Peaty soils are not suitable as foundation soils as they are weak and highly compressible. This paper describes a study on peat soil stabilisation to improve its physical and engineering properties. It investigates the effect of additives (binder amount 5, 10 and 15 (85cement, 15 bentonite) and rang...
