Determination of In-Situ Density and Physical Properties with Microstructure of Klias Peat Soil

In Sabah, peatland can be found across Papar, Beaufort, Klias and Bukau in western region of North Borneo Island. With distinct behavior in peat soil, it provides growing consideration and limitations, it has various special characteristics and different from other types of soil. In this research, t...
