Abstract
Study of settlement is of great importance in Denmark, which has great presence of glacial over-consolidated clays with high creep component, an element of importance on long term studies on sensitive structures. Heterogeneous methodology can make consolidation and creep analysis complex and hamper comparative analysis.An interpretation software, named \textit{MASCoT}, is developed to homogenize the inputs and outputs from different methods and ease the process of comparison and interpretation of parameters from multiple tests and methods. This program is used to analyse soil data from Danish consolidation tests. Differences, particularities and limitations of the selected methods, as well as the soil samples, are studied and discussed.
