Abstract

The soft clay has the characteristics of high compressibility, high water content, low strength and poor permeability, which will lead to large settlements under long-term loads, therefore, the prediction of settlements of soft clay roadbed has been one of the important research topics in Geotechnical Engineering. In this paper, the commonly-used methods in practice to predict the settlements of soft clay roadbed have been summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages have been evaluated.
