Adding a different concentration of PNpt to base binder had significant effects of high resistant changing volume and increased hardness. The physical property of modified binders enhanced the binder properties, as the results of penetration test, ductility test and distribution inside the binder showed that. This material has a high ability to distribution with asphalt, appears to be plain and homogeneous and different structure after blended with bitumen. Three (3) different percentages were mixed by weight of binder to modify the asphalt binder with the binder at 0, 3%, 5% and 7%. The Parit Nipah Peat was added to the original binder with a high shear blender then used at 1500 rpm to mix the PNpt with the binder. PNpt leads to make a lot of changes in internal and external of the samples that checked via penetration test, ductility test, and Scanning Electron Microscopic. The investigation is about the physical properties of asphalt binders modified with Parit Nipah Peat PNpt.M.A. In this research it is focused on the investigation work of the asphalt binder modified properties with different percentages of one different micro material. Innovations were conducted continuously to create sustainable asphalt modifier. Also, to validate the results obtained by finite element software it was compared to values obtained using analytical method. By comparing real field settlement observation values with that obtained by using finite element software it was concluded that the software predicted the real field settlement values. The settlement of building was observed and recorded every 15 days up to 3 years. The ground water table was is at depth of 1.5m. The soil profile consists of soft clay layer from ground surface to depth of 3m followed by a layer of peat soil of thickness 1m, the final layer was soft to very soft clay layer till end of boring at 15 m depth. The foundation depth was at 1.5 m and the net pressure on soil was 50 kN/m ². The studied building was five stories founded on a rigid raft. Peat soil is known to be the worst foundation materials because of its compressibility and low bearing capacity. The study area located at Kafr Saad Domiat province at extreme north east Nile Delta, Egypt. The aim of this research is to predict foundation settlement resting on peat soil layer using a numerical analysis software Plaxis 2D ver. Comparatively, the amount of Silicon, Si increased from 6.5% (Peat + EPP 10%) to 12.9% (Peat + EPP 40%) due to the crystallization of EPP and peat. Correspondingly, the elemental composition of peat soil mixed with EPP improved regardless of Carbon, Ca composition. According to the findings of this study, the optimum EPP for stabilizing peat soils was 30-40%. However, the presence of moisture will reduce the mixture's ability. According to the findings, peat soil treated with EPP will transform its qualities from peat to usable soil. The expected result to accomplish the main purpose was to prognosticate the potential Eco-Processed Pozzolan (EPP) as peat soil stabilization material with improved technique and its consequence of the methods. The soil was mixed with 10, 20, and 30% Eco-Processed Pozzolan (EPP) and then compacted (compaction test) in a metal mould with an internal diameter of 105 mm using a 2.5 kg rammer of 50 mm diameter, freefalling from 300 mm above the top of the soil Three layers compaction of approximately equal depth and 27 blows spread evenly over the soil surface for each layer. The purpose of the study was to prognosticate the potential of Eco-Processed Pozzolan (EPP) as peat soil stabilization material with improved technique and its consequence of the methods, which was the peat soils index properties and analyse the characteristics of the peat soil stabilization before and after treatment using Eco-Processed Pozzolan (EPP). Peat soils have a low shear strength of 5 to 20 kPa, a high compressibility of 0.9 to 1.5, and a high moisture content of >100%. Peat, on the other hand, was the subsurface of wetland systems, consisting of unconsolidated superficial layers with a high non-crystalline colloid (humus) content. Peat soil was defined as the highly organic surface layer derived primarily from plant remains.
