Design of stabilizing foundation for one-storey office building on peat soil

Peat soil is not suitable to be used as foundation for the construction of building because of its low strength compared to other types of soil. Sarawak has a very wide area of peat soil such as in Matang and Sibu. However, many researches have been done and innovation like stone column, micro pi...
