Abstract

The latest method for estimating the compressibility of Venetian silty-clay soils was discussed. The secondary compression in the soil column was estimated by analyzing six representative samples of the silty clay. The sand compression values were calculated which provide a rationally supported settlement prediction of 153mm. The method was found to be more efficient in interpreting soil compressibility than the conventional methodology.
