Atterberg limits are not appropriate for peat soils
(2015)This paper reports on the challenges associated with the determination of the Atterberg limits for peat, fundamental issues regarding the appropriateness of Atterberg limit concepts applied to peat and peaty soils and ... -
Briefing: Specific gravity of solids relationship with ignition loss for peaty soils
(2020)Peaty soils have an extremely high water content and a low specific gravity of solids (Gs) compared with most inorganic soils. Accurate knowledge of the Gs value allows void ratio computations for given water contents and ... -
Combined zinc-lead isotope and trace-metal assessment of recent atmospheric pollution sources recorded in Irish peatlands
(2019)Atmospherically-fed Earth surface archives such as ombrotrophic peatlands, lake sediments, and ice consistently show an upward increase in Zn concentrations of hitherto unclear origin. Here, we present a combined stable ... -
Discussion of ?Physio-chemical properties, consolidation, and stabilization of tropical peat soil using traditional soil additives ? a state of the art literature review? by Afnan Ahmad, Muslich Hartadi Sutanto, Mohammed Ali Mohammed Al-Bared, Indra Sati Hamonangan Harahap, Seyed Vahid Alavi Nezhad Khalil Abad, Mudassir Ali Khan
(2022)This discussion article provides commenting on the sections of the review paper by Ahmad et al. (the authors) concerning consistency limits determinations for peats and peaty soils, drawing on the writer’s experiences ... -

Environmental geotechnics for peatland management and restoration
(2019)Peatlands are dynamic eco-hydrological wetland systems, increasingly under threat worldwide due to natural and anthropogenic effects, including large-scale drainage and oxidation, causing their subsidence and ... -
A finite-strain hyperviscoplastic model and undrained triaxial tests of peat
(2017)This paper presents a finite-strain hyperviscoplastic constitutive model within a thermodynamically consistent framework for peat which was categorised as a material with both rate-dependent and thermodynamic equilibrium ... -
Tensile and compressive contributions of fibres in peat
(ASCE: Reston, VA, USA, 2017) -
Ultralightweight foundation system for peaty ground
(2022)Construction on peat deposits represents a major challenge for the geotechnical community. Waterlogged peat deposits have great potential for buoyancy generation. The premise of the present investigation is that this can ... -
Undrained triaxial relaxation tests on a fibrous peat
(Gothenburg, Sweden, 2015)
