Executive Summary  The results of consolidation tests on a urban refuse and two kind of industrial wastes are presetned and discussed.  It was found that;  (1) For Urban refuse, a large settlement occured immediately after loading, and time dependent settlements are proportional to logarithm of time.  (2) The compressibility of urban refuse are as much as that of alluvial cleey.  (3) For the food waste and dye waste, the relation between the modulus of volume compressibility and mean consolidation pressure is almost same as that of Yokohama clay.
