| Abstract: | This paper discusses the relationship
between shear strength and consolidation pressure
of tropical peat. One major problem related to
construction on peat deposit is the low shear
strength of the soil. Understanding the engineering
properties and characteristics of peat especially on
its shear strength is very important because it will
influence the bearing capacity of the soil. The
shear strength of the samples was obtained by
triaxial compression test under consolidated
undrained condition. The results shows a
significant relationship between consolidation
pressures applied and shear strength obtained in
both the sapric and fibric type of peat. |
