Muskeg - A Review of Engineering Progress

CIM Bulletin, 1960

R. A. HEMSTOCK

Simple classification systems are now being used which will describe adequately the surface vegetation, the topography and the peat for any muskeg condition. Good progress is being made in determining some of the mechanical properties of muskeg and it is apparent that the science of soil mechanics will apply largely to these studies.
