Tanah gambut dikenal sebagai tanah yang sangat lunak dengan kandungan organik tinggi (≥75% ). Tanah gambut memiliki perilaku yang kurang menguntungkan, yaitu daya dukung yang rendah dan pemampatan yang besar. Metode perbaikan tanah, seperti: preloading dengan beban tambahan, kolom pasir, dan galar kayu telah dilakukan untuk meningkatkan perilakunya. Hanya saja, metode tersebut tidak ramah lingkungan karena menggunakan banyak tanah dan kayu. Karena itu, metode stabilisasi menggunakan kapur telah dikembangkan untuk meningkatkan perilaku gambut. Makalah ini menyajikan efektivitas penggunaan abu sekam padi (RHA) dan Fly Ash (FA) sebagai pozolon untuk dicampurkan dengan CaCO 3 sebagai bahan stabilisasi dan pengaruh Usia stabilisasi terhadap perilaku tanah gambut yang distabilisasi. Dalam studi ini, digunakan 10 % Admixture-1 (30% CaCO 3 +70% RHA) dan 10% Admixture-2 (30% CaCO 3 +70 % FA). Pada usia stabilisasi 20-45 hari, perilaku tanah gambut yang distabilisasi meningkat secara signifikan. Pada usia peram diatas 45 hari perilaku gambut yang distabilisasi menurun karena adanya perubahan jelly CaS i O 3 menjadi kristal dan terjadinya dekomposisi serat gambut. Meskipun dua jenis admixture tersebut memberikan hasil yang baik dalam meningkatkan perilaku gambut berserat, tetapi Admixture-2 menunjukkan hasil yang lebih menjanjikan karena ukuran butirannya yang lebih halus dan kemudahannya dalam pelaksanaan pencampuran.

Compression behavior of stabilized fibrous peat has similar behavior with the initial one. Therefore, one step loading consolidation test is still applicable for the stabilized fibrous peat to predict its compression. The stabilized fibrous peat behavior, however, still depends on the type of the admixture used and stabilization age or curing period. Based on that reason, this study was carried out to study the change of compression behavior of the stabilized peat and to know whether the correction curves developed for laboratory compression parameters are still applicable to predict the settlement of the stabilized peat in the field. For this purpose, two types of stabilizing material adopted, admixtures lime CaCO3+Rice Husk Ash (admix-1) and lime CaCO3+Fly Ash (admix-2). The stabilized peats were cured and tested at different curing periods 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 days to check their behavior changes. Besides, laboratory models of peat stabilized at different layer thicknesses 1/3H, 2/3H, and H (H=peat sample thickness) were carried out to monitor their settlement under 50kPa load at different curing periods. This settlement is then compared with the predicted settlement. The results show that the fibrous peat stabilized with admixture-2 gives better behavior improvement than the one stabilized with admix-1; it is, however, then slightly decreases after 60 days of curing periods due to the fiber decomposition. Peat stabilized with admix-2 also give first settlement prediction when it is compared to the settlement of stabilized peat in the laboratory model.

Peat soil is a soft soil with more than 75% organic content, very high void ratio, and very high water content. In recent times, the lack of land use has made peat soil as an option for agriculture, drainage channels, and also for construction. Utilization of peat soil usually causes the peat soil water content to decrease. Based on the condition of its water content, the condition of peat soil can be classified into several conditions, which is peat soil with constant water content, peat soil which affected by ambient water content, and dried peat soil. Some of the improvement efforts made include the method of improvement by means of stabilization. The stabilization material used was a mixture of lime (CaCO3) and rice husk ash with the combination of 70% rice husk ash and 30% lime. Based on those studies, the use of the stabilization method is not recommended if the peat soil water content has decreased more than 50%. Therefore, the peat soil water content needs to be maintained in order for the stabilization to be effective and also for the sake of environmental preservation.

Peat is a type of soil with high organic content, very low bearing capacity, and high uneven settlement. Some methods to improve soil have been applied to peat in order to make it strong enough for civilization-building foundation situated on it. Peat stabilization is a method that is continuously developed considering that the cost it needs is lower and this approach is more environmentally friendly compared to other methods. The admixture of lime (CaCO3) and Rice husk ash, a new ecofriendly stabilizer material, has been applied to peat soil and showed a good result. However, in studies conducted previously, the effect of water infiltration from surrounding areas of soil was stabilized was not involved as variable influencing the change of parameter. Based on that, this laboratory study was carried out to model the real condition in the field when the stabilization is performed and to identify the physical and engineering changes of peat soil in the 10th, 20th, and 30th days of stabilization in its border and middle parts, with the percentage of material stabilizer 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of the unit weight of the initial condition of peat. The result of laboratory test shows that the addition of admixture of lime (CaCO3) and rice husk ash can improve the physical and engineering properties of peat soil are stabilized. Water infiltration occurred on peat soil is stabilized has not affected the physical and engineering properties of the soil. It can be seen from the physical and engineering properties of the border and central parts of peat soil is stabilized that still have a similar value. It is assumed to be caused by CaSiO3 gel formed still needs a longer duration to become stable gel. However, in this initial study it was known that the more stabilizers added, made the better the parameters of the stabilized peat soil.
