COMPRESSIBILITY BEHAVIOR OF TROPICAL PEAT VOLUME 2

This volume contains seven very impressive conference papers on the compressibility behavior of tropical peat. The author has selected the best papers after having presented in several local and international conferences on civil engineering from 2006 until 2009. His paper entitled “Compressibility Behavior of Tropical Peat Reinforced with Cement Column” has won the 1st runner-up award for the category of student paper competition organized by Deep Foundation Institute (DFI) in USA. The author is certain that readers will find this compilation most useful as a quick reference for students, researchers and academicians engaging in tropical peat.
