Construction activities on soft soils including peat have proven to be a challenging task to engineers. Peat is a type of soil made up of waterlogged partially-decomposed plant materials which has built up over 10,000 years in poorly-drained wetland habitats. Peat soils possess low shear strength and high compressibility and also moisture content as high as about 90%. It is generally needed to improve the properties of these soils and the excess moisture needs to be removed before doing any construction work on them. Several techniques have been developed in the recent past to accelerate the consolidation process. Electro osmotic consolidation is the prime among those techniques. Electro osmosis was originally developed as a means of dewatering fine grained soils for the consolidation and strengthening of soft saturated clayey soils. Electro osmosis has been previously applied to peat soil and promising results were obtained. This research is mainly focused on consolidation behaviour of peat soil studied by odeometer and electro osmosis methods. The electro osmotic consolidation is studied using Ferrum electrode and the results are compared.
