Correlation Between Different Physical and Engineering Properties of Tropical Peat Soils from Sarawak

The present paper describes the physical and engineering properties of tropical peat soils from Sarawak, Malaysia. Different physical properties such as organic content (OC), liquid limit (LL), fibre content (FC), specific gravity (Gs) and engineering properties (mainly the standard Proctor test) ha...
