abstract = "The aim of this investigation is to study the consolidation process of clay matrix with large size particles. This heterogeneous soil is widely found in intermediate residual soil horizons as well as in transported soils. Due to the presence of large particles, the theories to calculate consolidation settlement for this type of soils differ from the classical procedure. In this research the consolidation process of simulated transported soils is studied with the use of geotechnical a centrifuge. Due to the large numbers of factors that affect the behavior of a mixture of clay some variables are maintained constant in all models: stress history, drainage conditions and shape of particles. In contrast, the amount and the density of particles have been changed. This study concludes that the clay matrix presents different stress zones which depend on the density of the particle, the amount of particles, and the distance between them.",
