This study is to make clear for the characteristics of radial drainage consolidation/permeability At the result of the radial drainage consolidation / permeability test, the permeability of outflow drainage condition is higher than Inflow drainage condition and the time for the end of consolidation, outflow drainage condition is shorter than inflow drainage condition. So drainage area ratio test and control of hydraulic gradient test are carry out to analysis this result. Finally, compared with the characteristics on the condition of inflow and outflow permeability and consolidation.

The determination of the pre-consolidation load known to have a great effect on the consolidation characteristics of the soil have been researched and discussed in detail by many other researchers. A study was undertaken to investigate and compare the effect of pre-consolidation loads on the coefficient of permeability and the consolidation characterisics of soil through the consolidation test on the three types of soil samples. The results of this study are follows; 1. Large compression index is dependent on initial void ratio of the sample being used and the pressure-void ratio curve shows a curved linear relationship in over-consolidated area but a linear relationship in normally consolidated area.2. Settlement-time curve is S-shaped where the pressure is larger than pre-consolidation load and regardless of over-burden pressure, it is a similar straight line respectively in the secondary consolidation area. 3. Primary consolidation ratio of the sample increases almost linearly with the increase of over-burden pressure but the coefficient of volume compressibility decreases linearly with the increase of it. 4. Time factor of a certain degree of consolidation increases with over-burden pressure but the coefficient of consolidation decreases with it in over-consolidated area. There is a linear relationship between them in normally consolidated area. 5. The void ratio of completion point of primary consolidation decreases linearly with over-burden pressure. 6. The coefficient of permeability of sample decreases linearly with over-burden pressure in normally consolidated area, also it increases linearly with increment of the void ratio of the sample.

Slurry clay has much higher water content than liquid limit of clay and even if small loads apply, it suffers a great settlement. Accordingly it is very difficult to perform a general consolidation test about slurry clay because of high water content. In this study consolidation tests have been performed successfully using Rowe Cell Tester about 1 remolding clay and 3 slurry clays with a water content of 100%, 133% and 150%. From the test results compression index characteristics, secondary compression index characteristics and consolidation coefficient characteristics have been investigated about slurry clay and remolding clay. Also two kinds of theory, by Terzaghi theory and by Mikasa theory, has been used to calculate consolidation coefficients. Compared to the calculation results, they had a similar value of consolidation coefficient. However if Mikasa theory is applied in the field design, the period which reach to the required consolidation degree will be much reduced compared to the period by Terzaghi theory because the time coefficient T$\_$v/ by Mikasa theory is far smaller than T$\_$v/ by Terzaghi theory.

A series of standard consolidation tests and repeated loading consolidation tests were peformed with 2 kinds of peat sampled in Chonbuk area to study the consolidation characteristics of peat. The samples had following physical properties : 58% and 72% of organic content, 487% and 685% of natural moisture content and 7.02 and 9.72 of initial void ratio, respectively. And compression index $C_{c}$ and coefficient of secondary consolidation $C_{\alpha}$ were increased steeply when the consolidation load exceed about 2.5 and 3 times of each preload as like the characteristics of peat. The dependance on consolidation pressure of $C_{C}\;and\;C_{\alpha}$ in peatl and the maximum values, 2.9-3.8 and 0.3-0.4 were larger than that of normal clay, respectively.

Dredged soil from sea has much higher water content than liquid limit of clay and even if small loads apply, it will suffer a great settlement. Therefore it is very difficult to perform a consolidation test with general consolidation apparatus because of high water content. In this study Rowe Cell Apparatus consolidation tests have been performed with 1 remolding clay of water content 56% and 4 slurry clays of a water content of 100%, 120%, 133% and 150%. From the test results the consolidation characteristics such as compression index, secondary compression index and consolidation coefficient have been investigated with a variation of water content of dredged soil. The equations to get consolidation constants such as a compression index, a consolidation coefficient have been proposed with the field water content.

A numerical study was performed to investigate characteristics of one-dimensional consolidation of soft clay. Results of consolidation tests with the remolded normally consolidation clay of having a very high initial void ratio were analyzed by using the numerical technique of finite difference method based on the finite strain consolidation theory, to evaluate consolidational characteristics of soft clay under surcharges on the top of clay. On the other hand, a numerical parametric study on soft clay consolidated due to its self-weight was also carried out to find its effect on one-dimensional consolidation. Terzaghi's conventional consolidation theory, finite strain consolidation theories with linear and non-linear interpolation of effective stress - void ratio - permeability relation were used to analyze the test results and their results were compared to each other to figure out the difference between them. Therefore, the validity of theories was assessed.

There exist several kinds of continuous consolidation tests to analyze the consolidation behavior of soft clay. The constant rate of strain (CRS) test has been adopted as a standard method by several countries, and some researches also have been peformed by domestic researchers. Among those, the constant pressure ratio (CPR) test is peformed with the constant ratio of excess porewater pressure to vertical effective stress. The test has the advantage of considerable reduction of duration time. In the study, the consolidation characteristics are analyzed by performing the CPR test as validate the pressure ratio with undisturbed soft clay and remolded clay, Also, results of the standard consolidation test and CRS test are compared to verify the CPR test can be employed for practical use. As a result, effects of variation of the pressure ratio on consolidation parameter are similar to the strain rate in the CRS test. Therefore, the test can be used to analyze the consolidation behavior of soft clay But the test have some problems such as expensive cost of equipment and highly skilled workmanship.

This study aims at scrutinizing the long4errn consolidation characteristics of peats sampled at three different regions of Chonbuk province. The standard consolidation test and the single load consolidation test were performed about these samples and especially in case of the latter the loading period was 350 days. The main condusions analyzed are as follows. 1. Void ratio showed much greater values than that of the general clay and was decresed greatly according to the increase of the load. 2. In case of the relationship between the sefflement and the long-term settlement time the rate of settlement increment became great according to the increase of the load step and the long4erm settlement became linely proportional to the logarithm of time alter 10 minutes. 3. The linear correlation was showed between the long4erm settlement time and the void ratio and therefore equations by regression analysis were derived in order to estimate the long-term settlement The slope of straight lines increased according th the increase of the load step and secondary consolidation coefficients ranged from 0.04-0.27. 4. The secondary consolidation coeffcient became linealy proportional to the compression index and the ratio of Ca to CC was 0.072. 5. The period required in ending the primary consolidation was about 10 minutes and alter that the secondary consolidation coefficient appeared to have constant value. Therefore the secondary consolidation coefficient was judged to be used as a significant factor in estimating the long4erm settlement. 6. In case of the single load consolidation test the secondary consolidation coefficient showed the tendancy increasing according to the increase of the consolidation pressure.
