Construction of road embankments through peat
Methods of construction adopted for replacement of peat with hard-fill material on 11 mi section of Belfast-Dungannon Motorway, Ireland; over 3 million cu yd of peat, in depth up to 36 ft was encountered; peat was excavated by draglines but on few short sections displacement method of bog-blasting was used; both methods are described; embankments were formed with imported broken rock-filling but on one contract native clay fill was used; data is given on compaction achieved in clay embankments and total settlements which occurred in period after construction in both clay and rock-fill embankments.
