Currently there exist different assumptions and approaches, along with various parameter interpretation procedures, that are used in the deformation and consolidation analysis of soils. In this article the importance of correct implementation of creep formulation in settlement analysis, during the first few years after construction, is discussed. The significance of using an objective interpretation of secondary compression index is also illustrated. The Onsøy test fill, which was monitored for a three year period after construction, is used as an example. Measurements include vertical and horizontal settlement along with pore pressure profiles. The Onsøy test fill is of particular interest because of the availability of good quality tests on block sampled Onsøy clay along with well-documented field measurements. The analyses show that disregarding creep in the first 3 years period can underestimate the settlement by as much as 70% or more, when the block samples are used as a basis for the interpretation of soil parameters.
