Peat soil stabilization using electrokinetic stabilization (EKS) treatment at Parit Lapis Kadir, Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia

Peat is found all over the world, which covered about 4.5% of the total world land and considered one of the most challenging soil, it creates many problems in constructions projects due to its characteristics like low shear strength, high water content and high compressibility. Hence, buildings and...
