Settlement Problems in Peat Due to Their High Compressibility and Possible Solution Using Cement Columns
Tropical peat soils are considered as extremely soft, wet, unconsolidated deposits. These kinds of soils are geotechnically problematic due to their high compressibility or high settlement and low shear strength. Cement columns may be used to improve the settlement problem of these soils. This paper describes the results of the effects of cement columns on the compressibility of fibrous tropical peat soils. Coefficient of consolidation, compression index, coefficient of secondary compression, and coefficient of volume compressibility were obtained by a Rowe cell test for both, untreated peat soil and peat soil treated with cement column. The results indicate that installing cement columns and increasing cement ratio could reduce the compressibility of peat soils and decrease its settlement dramatically.
