The poor engineering properties of peaty soil are unfavourable for engineering construction. Based on field test datum, the mechanical properties of peaty soil in different buried depth have been analyzed. The result shows that the shear strength of shallowly buried peaty soil reduce gradually with the increase of burial depth, however, which increase gradually along with the depth for deep buried peaty soil. The factors affecting the meso-structure of soil, for example, stress state, the stress history, the stress path, the variation of groundwater, chemical field, biological field and physical field is discussed.
