Abstract: Three settlement analysis methods: ThreePoint, Asaoka, and Hyperbolic, are used to predict the ultimate settlement of the testing area of a soil improvement project. The measured settlement values are compared with the predicted values. The empirical settlement coefficient of the test area is then obtained through the comparison and this settlement coefficient can be used for predicting the settlement magnitudes of the project.

Key words: Three-point method, Asaoka Method, Hyperbolic Method, Settlement Magnitude
