Abstract:Peat soil is a soft material from the group of organic soils. This soil has different behavioral characteristics than other nonorganic soils. One of its weaknesses is insufficient shear strength. Therefore, any construction and loading on it require special measures such as reinforcement. The present study aims to experimentally investigate the shear behavior of peat soil reinforced with geotextiles. In this research, first undisturbed samples of the Urmia peat soil were collected from in situ road constructio… Show more
