A developer plans to extend Bayview Haven residential estate in Darwin by constructing a 3.5mm fill platform over very soft mangrove silty clay soils. Borehole drilling indicates the very soft clay soils are 5m thick and underlain by rock of extremely low permeability, with the water table at the ground surface. Laboratory testing indicates the following geotechnical properties of the soils: • Very Soft Silty Clay: Degree of saturation - 100%, Coefficient of Volume Compressibility (m.) - 0.85 MPa', coefficient of consolidation of clay (c.) = 2.5 m/yr; dry unit weight - 13 kN/m', moisture content - 38%.
