Comparison Study of the Dynamic Loading Characteristics between Peat and Sand Based on its Physical Properties

Abstract: Abstract. Peat soils are challenging soils which are a problem for many geotechnical engineers especially in the design of shallow foundations and road constructions. The engineering properties of peat are dependent on the nature of its physical properties. Micro structural studies done on the soil shows that it consists of fibres which cause the soil to be highly compressible resulting in excessive settlement when they are subjected to moderate load increments or vibrations produce by traffic. In this paper, … Show more

“…The results show that the sample taken below 0.4 m depth from the top surface has a very high-water content and it is shown that the peat soil has sponge characteristics because it keeps the water in the soil. According to the previous studies by Zainorabidin et al, [9] and Razali et al, [10], the water content they identified in Pontian peat was in the range of 658% to 848.7%. The result of specific gravity for this study was identified in the range of 1.23.…”

“…The reinforcement bamboo reduced the displacement of the settlement by around 61% to 62% under load 1 kg/cm 2 and as well as 60% under load 2 kg/cm 2 and 3 kg/cm 2 . As stated by Zainorabidin et al, [9], the performance of bamboo reinforcement shows it effectively supports and decreases the displacement of the settlement of peat under a load.…”

“…The transformation plans to totally change the scenes for future advancement and to exploit the land use in a progressively profitable way esteemed fit for human activities, community's and industrial property all in the name of greater Malaysia's economic development . According to this matter, an engineer faces a challenging situation to discover a secure method to construct and build the infrastructure on soft soil for transportation Mohamad et al, 2016;Zainorabidin et al, 2015). The usage of these soft soil territory in Malaysia is one out of numerous choices accessible, in any case, before bargaining these soft soil zone for development, there are numerous monetary elements that requirements thought, for example, spending plans and others.…”
