Abstract
IN the course of investigating the consolidation properties of a sensitive marine clay, a variety of consolidation test procedures has been used. Some followed normal incremental loading procedure, but with widely varying increment ratios. Other tests employed continuous loading techniques either by straining the specimen at a constant rate or by applying load at a constant rate.
