Settlement characteristics of silt have been studied in relation to those of sand and clay. This involved investigation of the immediate elastic settlement due to deformation occurring under constant volume, and consolidation as a function of pore pressure dissipation. Oedometer and Triaxial compression tests (undrained and consolidated-undrained) with pore pressure measurements were performed to obtain the values of the parameters my, the modulus of volume change, E, the elastic modulus, and pore pressure coefficient ’A’.
