ABSTRACT


The paper presents the results of laboratory and
field investigations carried out on two kinds of soft soils in north-western
Poland. Comprehensive investigations which included the routine and oedometer
tests as well as triaxial tests have been conducted in order to study the behaviour
of consolidation process in soft subsoils. Analyses of factors
which determine the assessment of the deformation process of soft subsoils are
presented. The main emphasis has been placed on obtaining the non-linear deformation
– stress characteristics, which are being used for modelling of the deformation of soft subsoils under the earth structure.

Key words: soft soils, deformation, field investigations, laboratory test.
