Engineering behaviour of stabilized peat soil

Successful implementation of deep peat stabilization is very much dependent on the engineering behaviour of stabilized peat soil. With respect to this, laboratory testing investigation on the stabilized soil often provides an indispensable guide regarding the choice, composition and dosage of binder...
