Abstract
This paper describes the Index and compression properties of Rio de Janeiro sedimentary clays properties and behaviour of ten deposits of soft to medium clays, situated in industrialized and residential areas of Rio de Janeiro City and Rio de Janeiro State. The data reported in this paper is a summary of the geotechnical properties obtained from laboratory and in situ tests carried out under well-defined contour and drainage conditions. The deposits are described in terms of its index properties, stress history, compressibility, consolidation and strength properties.
