Summary
1. As a result of these investigations, a graphic concept was obtained concerning deformation of slumping soil of natural structure and comparatively high water content (a coefficient of saturation equal to 0.58) in settlement. The boundaries of the deformable zone, obtained by two methods, mainly by means of indicators and by determining the soil density, coincided.
2. The character of the deformation of slumping soil in the bed of the plate during settlement is similar to the previously obtained data on slumping of soil under plates [2]. Settling of the plate in the experiment occurred as a result of compaction of the soil within a rather limited deformable zone without upward yielding of the soil.
