AbstractThe effects of different loading conditions on compressibility characteristics, pore water pressure development and dissipation of the Stiff Bangkok Clay were studied in one-dimensional consolidation. It was found that the effects of loading conditions on compressibility were insignificants however, the pore water pressure dissipation was a function of the pressure-increment ratio. Before 50% average degree of consolidation, the Terzaghi\'s theory could be used for prediction of the pore water pressure dissipation. After 50% average degree of consolidation, theory of DAVIS and RAYMOND .(1965) gave better agreement. The coefficient of primary consolidation could be better estimated by the method on the basis of pore water pressure dissipation at (6u dis)27. The rate of primary and secondary compression were related to the loading conditions.
