Abstract

The results of an extensive laboratory study on fibrous Middleton peat are presented. The biodegradation of some peat specimens during secondary compression was responsible for C_α increasing with time in the compression range where C_c decreases with increasing effective stress. Additional oedometer tests were performed to further investigate this possibility. Pore pressure measurements were taken at the base of the specimen.
