One major problem related to construction on peat deposite is the low shear strength of the soil. Some improvement methods have been developed to increase the bearing capacity of the peat deposit by utilizing consolidation pressure. The shear strength of the samples was obtained by triaxial compression test under unconsolidated undrained condition. The results proved that there is an increase in shear strength due to application of consolidation pressure. The initial shear strength predicted based on the equation developed for the results of Triaxial testing agreed with the in-situ strength ob...
