Recalculation of settlements from test fills
The task involves the recalculation of settlements from test embankments on clay, primarily the Sundland embankments in Drammen.

Here, a 1-meter-high fill and a 2-meter-high fill were placed, and settlements and pore pressure were measured over a period of 10 years. Other fillings, such as the "oedometer filling" on Ellingsrud quick clay and other earlier fillings, may also be included.
The main objective is to investigate whether reasonable agreement with the measurements can be achieved by using a soil model that does not directly model creep, but indirectly takes it into account by reducing OCR to a level that provides satisfactory results.
