Peat soils have been known for their problematic characteristics which include high water content, high compressibility and low shear strength. In this study, an attempt was made to investigate the effect of 1 week addition of modified Urea-CaCl2liquid medium with and withoutSporosarcina pasteuriion the shear strength of unsterilized dried peat soil using the Unconfined Compression Test. After the treatment period, significant increase in the shear strength of the soil was found to be highest for peat + medium at 42 kN/m2, moderate for peat + medium +Sporosarcina pasteuriiat 27 kN/m2and unchanged for peat + water control at 24 kN/m2. Although the growth dynamics of all the microbes involved in the calcite formation in the treated peat soil were not known, the addition of the modified Urea-CaCl2liquid medium into the soil clearly had contributed to the marked increased in the shear strength of the soil. It is probable that the medium had promoted a better growth of indigenous calcite bacteria population in the soil which may have been suppressed by the slow growingS. pasteuriipopulation being added daily to the soil

The unconfined compression test is widely used because of convenient specimen formation, simple experimental process, and low requirement for equipment. In view of the experimental characteristics, the axisymmetric mechanical model of a cylinder with horizontal friction was constructed and its elastic analytic solution was also deduced. The stress and the strain of the cylinder under unconfined compression with different boundary conditions were analyzed by using the analytical solution, and the failure characteristics of the cylinder under unconfined compression were studied and verified by laboratory testing. The results showed that the end restraint effect of the cylinder increased with the decrease of the height-to-diameter ratio and the increase of the Poisson ratio. When the end surface of the cylinder was constrained, the maximum tensile strain appeared in the middle of the cylindrical side; its value increased with the constraint effect, and greater loads were needed to make the same vertical displacement. The compressive strength derived from the current method would be too weak, and the compressive modulus of elasticity would be too great. If the end constraint was large, a small network crack first formed in the middle of the outer side of the cylinder, forming the double-tapered destruction. If the end face was weakly restrained, the cracks descended from the top to the bottom, and the specimens split.

Keadaan tanah memiliki peran penting terhadap keperluan konstruksi dalam bidang teknik sipil, tanah berfungsi untuk menopang suatu bangunan konstruksi di atasnya, namun di beberapa tempat di Indonesia terdapat daerah yang memiliki tanah yang kurang baik seperti memiliki daya dukung rendah, hal ini sangat berpengaruh terhadap proses konstruksi. Selain tanah yang kurang baik limbah juga merupakan faktor permasalahan utama yang terjadi di Indonesia, limbah yang dibuang dan tertumpuk pada satu wilayah tertentu dapat menyebabkan dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan. Untuk menghindari hal tersebut maka dilakukanlah suatu penelitian agar limbah yang tidak dapat didaur ulang tersebut dapat digunakan sebagai bahan stabilisasi tanah, dan diharapkan dapat meningkatkan daya dukung dari tanah itu sendiri.Penelitian ini menggunakan tanah clay shale dari daerah Cietereup Sentul Bogor. Pengujian menggunakan unconfined compression test dengan komposisi variasi limbah yaitu serbuk kaca, abu sekam padi, styrofoam, dan fly ash type F sebesar 10% berdasarkan volume mold unconfined compression test.

Soil has an important role in a highway construction planning that serves to pass the load from the top layer, but not always the basic soil layer is able to function properly. Therefore, in this study was conducted to find out the effect of the addition of oil palm shell ash on clay soil to UCT (Unconfined Compression Test). The type of soil that will be usedfor penelitian is clay soil taken in Paccinongang area, Gowa Regency. The methodology in this study conducted several    soil physical properties testing then Kompaksi testing to obtain optimum moisture content value, and Unconfined Compression Test to get strong press value (qu). The results of the study showed that the soil meets the physical properties of clay soil. From The Free Press Strong test on the ash content of the palm shell 0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% and 15% at point 1 the free press strength value decreased from 0% by 0.362% and increased at 9% by 0.424%. Meanwhile, at point 2, it decreased by 0% by 0.445% and increased at 12% by 0.423%.  From the Unconfined Compression Test on Paccinongang clay, Gowa Regency with the addition of oil palm shell ash from both samples, there was an increase in the addition of 9% and 12% of normal clay soil.
