    1) Peat soils are organic soils formed through accumulation of partially or undecomposed plant material under wetland conditions over centuries. 2) Peat is characterized by its very high moisture content, high compressibility, and very low shear strength, making building on peat highly uncertain. 3) Previous research found that adding plastic strips at an optimum content of 4% increased the CBR value of black cotton soil, indicating plastic waste can be utilized to increase soil strength.
