THE REVIEW PRESENTED CONTAINS A SIMPLIFIED EXPLANATION OF THE THEORY AND RELATED COMPUTATIONS FOR ESTIMATING FILL SETTLEMENT, USING THE VOIDS RATIO. INCLUDED IS A PROBLEM INVOLVING TWO LAYERS OF COMPRESSIBLE SOIL. THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED IN A STEP-BY-STEP METHOD, WITH COMMENTS FOR EACH STEP. NECESSARY CHARTS AND GRAPHS ARE INCLUDED FOR PREDICTING THE SETTLEMENT OF A FILL. /AUTHOR/
