The formation of an alluvial clay deposit normally goes through sedimentation and consolidation. This book describes the compression behavior of ultra-soft soil upon additional load application. It also discusses various types of laboratory compression tests suitable for this type of soil.
Triaxial compression tests on compacted specimens of till show that the effective shear parameters, shear strength, dilatancy, and strain at failure are affected by both compactive effort and placement water content. The method of saturating specimens prior to shear was varied allowing no prestress and had no significant effect on test results.
