    • Peat soil is a natural insulation material, which has a significant effect on the underlying frozen soil layer. Natural peat soil usually exists in the form of aggregates, and its particle size distribution has a spatial variability. However, the effect of gradings on the thermal conductivity is rarely reported. In this work, 66 laboratory tests were conducted on the peat soil to investigate the effects of coarse content, particle size ratio and water content on its thermal conductivity by a non-steady-state probe method.The results show that under the same relative density, the thermal conductivity of peat soil first increases and then decreases with the increase of coarse content, and reaches the peak value when the coarse content reaches 50%. For the peat soil with coarse dominated structure, the thermal conductivity increases distinctly with the increase of particle size ratio. However, the effect of particle size ratio reduces in the fine dominated structure. For a given void ratio, the thermal conductivity increases with the rising coarse content due to the thermal resistance and the particle contacts which are affected by particle size distribution; it increases with increasing particle size ratio in fine grain dominated structure but decreases in coarse grain dominated structure. In addition, the thermal conductivity of peat soil increases significantly with increasing water content, and the growth rate varies with the internal pores and the water distribution in the pores.
