This study aims to simulate the stabilization process of fibrous peat samples using end-bearing Cement Deep Mixing (CDM) columns by three area improvement ratios of 13.1% (TS-2), 19.6% (TS-3) and 26.2% (TS-3). It also focuses on the determination of approximate stress distribution between CDM columns and untreated fibrous peat soil. First, fibrous peat samples were mechanically stabilized using CDM columns of different area improvement ratio. Further, the ultimate bearing capacity of a rectangular foundation rested on the stabilized peat was calculated in stress-controlled condition. Then, this process was simulated via a FEM-based model using Plaxis 3-D foundation and the numerical modelling results were compared with experimental findings. In the numerical modelling stage, the behaviour of fibrous peat was simulated based on hardening soil (HS) model and Mohr-Coulomb (MC) model, while embedded pile element was utilized for CDM columns. The results indicated that in case of untreated peat HS model could predict the behaviour of fibrous peat better than MC model. The comparison between experimental and numerical investigations showed that the stress distribution between soil (S) and CDM columns (C) were 81%C-19%S (TS-2), 83%C-17%S (TS-3) and 89%C-11%S (TS-4), respectively. This implies that when the area improvement ratio is increased, the share of the CDM columns from final load was increased. Finally, the calculated bearing capacity factors were compared with results on the account of empirical design methods.

Researches have been done to discover ways to strengthen peat soil deposits. In this model study, fibrous peat that is the most compressible types of peat has been reinforced with precast peat columns stabilized with ordinary Portland cement and polypropylene fibres. Rowe cell consolidation tests as well as plate load tests (PLTs) were conducted on various types of test samples to evaluate the strength and deformation of untreated peat and peat reinforced by various types of columns. PLTs were conducted in a specially designed and fabricated circular steel test tank. The compression index ($C_c$) and recompression index ($C_r$) of fibrous peat samples reduced considerably upon use of precast columns. Also, PLT results confirmed the results obtained from Rowe cell tests. Use of polypropylene fibres added to cement further decreased ($C_c$) and ($C_r$) and increased load bearing capacity of untreated peat. Finite element method (FEM) using Plaxis 3D was carried out to evaluate the stress distributions along various types of tested samples and also, to compare the deformations obtained from FEM analysis with the actual maximum deformations found from PLTs. FEM results indicate that most of the induced stresses are taken on the upper portion of tested samples and reach their maximum values below the loading plate. Also, a close agreement was found between actual deformation values obtained from PLTs and values resulted from FEM analysis for various types of tested samples.

This article describes laboratory research done on strength evaluations for stabilized samples made of tropical fibrous peat. The stabilizing agents used were ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as binding agent and blast furnace slag (BFS) as additive. Stabilized samples were tested for their strength through unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and California bearing ratio (CBR). Different dosage rates of OPC and BFS were used in trial and error experiments for the most effective combination for stabilized peat samples that were at their natural moisture content. Stabilized trial samples were air cured for 90 days. After detecting the most effective dosage rate in the trial samples, their values were used to prepare CBR samples at their optimum moisture content (OMC). CBR samples were then air cured from 1 to 90 days and tested under un-soaked and soaked conditions. The most effective dosage rate for the stabilized peat samples was found to be close to when 75% for OPC and 25% of BFS per total weight of OPC, and BFS. As an example, if 11.25% OPC, and 3.75% BFS are mixed with peat and compacted at their OMC and air cured for 90 days, stabilized peat will have an increase in CBR of 0.8% to 45 % for un-soaked and 20% for soaked conditions.

For this study, a Peliyagoda area located on a route was selected among many sections of a CKE(Colombo to Katunayake Expressway) route in Sri-Lanka. Its subground consists of a very weak and thick peat soil named amorphous or fibrous peat. All of data, obtained in the design process of soft ground treatment were analyzed to evaluate the settlement characteristics resulted from an embankment load and to present reasonable methods for estimation of secondary compression settlement. For these purposes, soil parameters were used obtainedby field and laboratory tests the settlement analyses were conducted base on the field monitoring results within 20 months. In addition, Reasonable methods were studied to estimate primary consolidation and secondary compression settlement.

토마토 묘(苗)를 한마디씩 4-6마디로 절단하여 절간을 이용한 마디 삽목 시 삽수의 절위와 소엽의 부착유무가 묘소질에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여 본 시험을 수행하였다. 방울토마토 뻬뻬와 꼬꼬 품종을 플러그 묘를 소엽 1엽을 부착하여 삽목한 처리구가 소엽을 모두 제거한 처리보다 초장과 엽수가 많았고, 지상부중 및 지하부중이 약 3-15배 정도 증가되었다. 토마토 마디삽목묘의 발근율은 하배축이 86%였으나 평균 96%의 높은 발근율을 보였다. 토마토 플러그 묘(苗) 1주(株)로부터 4-6개의 삽수가 얻어졌고 삽목 후 20-24일에 정식 가능한 묘가 생산되었으며, 계속적인 증식이 가능하였다. 토마토 삽목묘의 뿌리는 실생묘에 비하여 직근이 적고 뿌리의 수가 많았다. 그리고 실생묘는 뿌리가 하배축의 끝에서 발근되었으나 마디삽목묘는 상토와 접촉된 모든 부위에서 발생되었다. 육묘방법에 따른 소엽의 변화는 실생묘는 자엽으로부터 마디가 생장점으로 이동함에 따라서 약 1엽, 2엽, 3.5엽 5.5엽으로 엽수가 증가되고, 측지삽목묘는 11.3, 11.9, 13.2, 13.3엽으로 첫째 마디부터 엽수가 현저하게 많았다. 한편 마디삽목묘의 엽수는 약 3.5, 3.6, 4.4엽 및 5.8엽으로 증가되어 측지삽목묘보다는 현저하게 적었으나, 실생묘보다는 많았다. 같은 마디삽목묘의 소엽수(小葉數)도 삽수마디가 하배축에서 생장점으로 이동함에 따라서 소엽수(小葉數)가 크게 증가되었다.
