“…Internationally, several theories specific for the prediction of settlement on peat have been developed based on simple empirical and semiempirical correlations e.g. Flaate (1968), Al-Khafaji and Andersland (1981), Edil and Mochtar (1984), Edil and Simon-Gilles (1986), Stinnette (1998), Den Haan andEl Amir (1994), Carlsten (2000), Sas et al (2011), Szymanski et al (2005, Noto (1987), Hayashi et al (2016). It is difficult to make general statements on the success or otherwise of these methods for predicting settlement in peat.…”

“…The researcher in [21] claimed that the settlement of roads was deflected from the construction of roads on the soft soil. The authors in [22][23] also found that the road settlement failure was due to the construction of peaty soil. Figure 2 shows an example of road failure on the peaty soil.…”

This paper examines the use of earth materials in sustainable road construction in South East, Nigeria. The study aims to determine factors associated with the use of earth materials, identify limiting factors, and examine strategies to improve their use. The study population comprised 60 engineers and craftsmen using local materials. The results show limitations in the use of earth materials in sustainable road works. The study recommends contracting firms to develop better storage facilities for earth materials to prevent damage and wastage. It also suggests incorporating earth materials into construction education curriculums to sensitize students to their potential benefits. The government should adopt a policy of adapting earth materials that require minimal capital and foreign exchange and utilizing available raw materials and skills in small-scale operations. The study's findings highlight the importance of sustainable road construction in Nigeria's socio-economic growth.
