Abstract
The uniques properties of peat make it unsuitable for use as a foundation for infrastructure projects. High water content, high settlement, and low shear strength are the major concern when dealing with the peat soil. Thus, the purpose of the study is to understand the settlement behaviour of peat in its originais state and the influence of different sizes of sand as fillers on the consolidation of peat. The consolidation tests were conducted on original peat, peat with sand size of 0.425 mm and 0.150 mm. These sample were formed at optimum moisture content and maximum density that obtained from the proctor test. The result shows that the settlement for original peat, peat with 0.425 mm sand and peat with 0.150 mm sand are 4.199 mm, 3.816 mm and 3.549 mm respectively. The original peat experienced the highest settlement compared to the sample with sand. It is because of the sand that acts as a filling between the voids. The smaller sized of sand particles are corporated into peat as a filler, created a denser pack arrangement and providing a better compaction and at the same time helps in reduced the settlement
