Soft Soil Stabilization

The soil compaction of peat under influence of electrokinetic stabilization (EKS) treatment, which focused on stabilizing peat soil by application of electric current ranging from 110 to 150 V for 3 to 6 hours. In this study they physical, chemical and dynamic properties were observed before and after the voltage applied. There were twenty peat sampling site were investigated in this study at Parit Botak area, Batu Pahat, Johor Darul Takzim, Malaysia but the soil samples were collected from three various locations which is Parit Haji Ali, Parit Nipah and Parit Lapis Kadir. The parameters observed for the peat soil was shear strength, the moisture content, liquid limit, as well as shear wave velocity. The outcome of this study potential may contribute toward the selective properties of particular soil on order to support a specific infrastructure and construction.
