PRE-LOADING OF PEAT MOOR IN CONNECTION WITH ROAD CONSTRUCTION

FOERBELASTNING AV TORVMOSSE I SAMBAND MED BYGGNATION AV DALAROEVAEGEN, STOCKHOLM

The paper deals with the construction of a road embankment over a peat moor according to the pre-loading method. Pre-loading was calculated according to results from a full scale test on a test embankment before the start of road construction. The control of the work, including pore water pressure measurement and careful follow up of settlements, was combined with a project aiming at studying the possibilities of making realistic settlement predictions from laboratory tests on samples from the peat layer. The tests are evaluated and recommendations are given. (TRRL)
