...Phi Doan; Vincent Nyambayo Peat, as an organic soil, presents significant geotechnical challenges in geotechnical engineering. This paper reviews the geotechnical aspects of common peats found in the British Isles and highlights their distinct properties and behaviours that influence the stability...
