In the study undisturbed Stiff Nong Ngoo Hao Clay were subjected to varying consolidation pressures, pressure increment ratios and pressure increment durations during one-dimensional consolidation. The data by the previous investigators on  Weathered clay and Soft clay were included for comparison purpose. The test results were interpreted by using Terzaghi and Gibson & La 's theory. It is found that the effects of loading conditions on compressibility  were insignificant, however, the rate of pore water pressure dissipation was much faster than that predicted by the theories of Terzaghi and Davis &  Raymond. The rate of consolidation was found to be a function of loading conditions. 0aClayxThailandxNong Ngoo HaoxTesting1 aBalasubramaniam, A.S., eChairperson1 aMoh, Za-Chieh, eExamination Committee1 aBrenner, R.P., eExamination Committee1 aHolmberg, Soren, eExamination Committee2 aThe government of Canada, eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno. 902  3Full-Textuhttp://203.159.5.9/ait-thesis/detail.php?q=B23761
