Sažetak
The discussion presented here indicates that reliable, in situ, compressibility characteristics can be obtained from remolded specimens in the laboratory. The laboratory determined curves are modified to match the in situ void ratios, which can be obtained from the simple water content measurements. The settlement is then calculated from the expected void ratio changes and the initial void ratios. The presented approach requires much more economical field work and allows for settlement calculations at the sites where is not possible to obtain good quality undisturbed samples. The procedure is certainly applicable to young sediments, such as waste dumps, but it is possible to apply it to the conventional terrestrial sites with overconsolidated clays. Its reliability in such situations still needs to be verified by carefully conducted field studies.
