The reliability of forecasted long-term peat settlement under embankment is primarily determined not by the soil models used, but by the specific features of peat laboratory testing. This article presents the results of oedometer tests of various-height peat samples with squeezing of pore water towards only top or top and bottom faces. The load was applied to the samples in two ways: by gradual stepwise increase or all at once. The stabilization condition for each load was sample deformation not exceeding 0.01 mm ...
