From the Back Cover
Peat is one of the most compressible soils in nature. Whenever possible, geotechnical engineers will avoid this difficult material by either building elsewhere, or removing it completely from underneath their structures. In many countries substantional areas are covered by these materials, and increasing demands on space by industry, housing and infrastructure result in more frequent utilization of such marginal grounds.
