Study on Correlation of Physical Indicators of Peat Soil along Malaysian East Coast Railway Link
There widely spreads peat soil along Malaysia East Coast Railway Link(ECRL).It has high content of organic matter and significant discrete nature.Herein geotechnical test method was used to measure the physical indicators of the peat soil,such as content of organic matter,pH,natural water content,density,specific gravity and liquid-plastic limit,and then the correlations of the indicators were analyzed.The results show that,the peat soil along the railway is characterized by high water content,high liquid limit,high content of organic matter,low density and low specific gravity;the content of organic matter has good correlation with the natural water content,the pore ratio and the density,with the correlation coefficient exceeding 0.900.The water content has certain correlation with the pore ratio,the density and the liquid limit.
