Peat deposits are comprised of high organic content substances primarily derived from dead
plant vegetation. Peat itself is not inert but undergoes continuous biological decomposition …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of reported field and laboratory investigations
and theoretical work concerning the geotechnical behaviour/properties of water treatment …

To accommodate major civil engineering projects in or in the vicinity of peatlands, it is
essential to stabilise peat deposits. On the other hand, the accumulation of waste tyres in …

Due to the high values of organic and water contents, and other poor geotechnical
properties of peats, it is essential to stabilise peat deposits. Moreover, in recent decades …

Most natural sedimentary clay contains organic matter, and even a small amount of organic
matter will have a great impact on the physical and mechanical properties of clay. In order to …

Recent peat slope failures in Ireland in the autumn of 2003 at Pollatomish, County Mayo and
Derrybrien, County Galway have focused attention on such events. However, slope failures …

Soil mixing, or soil stabilisation, is a method of enhancing the geotechnical properties of
suitable host soil through the addition of cementitious and/or pozzolanic binders in either dry …

This paper presents the results of a laboratory testing program involving consolidated
undrained triaxial tests and direct shear tests on remoulded peat, remoulded peat fibre, and …

Recent peat soil problems, including failures of dykes, foundations, and slopes in peat
deposits, have focused greater attention on understanding the mechanical behavior of peat …

Organic soils are considered one of the most problematic soils due to their high
compressibility and low shear strength at small strains. Characterizing organic soils based …
