Physical Properties of Tropical Sibu Peat

Peat is developed from the accumulation of plants fragments and animal’s remain that is partially decomposed due to anaerobic condition for the decomposition process (Ibrahim et al. 2014). Due to its highly organic characteristic, peat is considered a very challenging soil for construction. Thus i...
