The experimental work described in the thesis consisted of a series of tests of model footings on dry silt of various porosities. It was done from the point of view of settlement-pressure relationship. Also, one of the theories of settlement is examined, and the results of the tests are compared with that theory. The principal factors affecting the tests are pointed out, and suggestions are made to guide further studies of the subject.
