Abstract
In this paper, the time-dependent settlement characteristics of granular fill on saturated soft foundation soil were studied using a mechanical model for the foundation. The model idealizes the behaviour of granular fill and saturated soft foundation soil with the Pasternak shear layer and spring-dashpot system respectively. The parametric studies revealed the effect of various parameters on the settlement response of the model at different stages of consolidation of the soft soil.
