Abstract
The main problems in the area studied were the irreversible drying and shrinkage of the soils. Factors of importance in this process were defined. To trace such factors the origin of pure peats and of mixtures of peat and clays was considered. Ways were suggested of preventing drying out and soil shrinkage.
