Peat has a lack of strength, making it unsuitable for foundations or road construction. The results of 104 unconfined compressive strength (UCS) on peat stabilized with various lime percentages are presented in this article. The strength performance of peat soils stabilized with lime in soaked and unsoaked conditions was also evaluated. Evolutionary Polynomial Regression (EPR) models are constructed to predict the UCS values using the data obtained from the tests. After evaluating the various functions, the EPR model with a hyperbolic tangent function is the best model for predicting the UCS. The proposed EPR models may benefit practitioners when determining the optimal amount of stabilizers to utilize in soft-ground improvement projects. In this section, we show and expand on applying the suggested models to the design of soft ground mixing. Additionally, by applying the created relationships to a new instance, the comprehensiveness of the established relationships is shown, as is the practicality of the suggested relationships for usage during the preliminary design stage. The findings of this study have important implications for estimating the quantity of lime required in ground peat improvement work.
