Abstract
This paper discusses the consolidation settlement prediction based on the observation at the site under construction. Since it is difficult to estimate the effects of the embankment load, the observed settlement data during the period of embankment work has not been used for the future settlement prediction. However, it is necessaly to complete a new technique which predicts the settlement in the early stage of observation, and feeds back the result to the design. This tequnique will satisfy a fixed construction period and will save construction cost. This paper proposes a new method to predict the future settlement in the early stage of observation using observed data during the period of embankment work. It will also describe a new way to feed back the result to design. These methods are applied to some actual observations, and this paper showed the process of analysis concretely. The result indicates that these methods are effective and useful.
