The objective of this research work is to study the influence of filter paper wrapped perforated bamboos with various geometrical patterns (spacings) and configurations to estimate the compressibility characteristics of remolded kaolinitic clay mass using large scale model consolidation test set-up. Series of model consolidation tests were framed to determine load-settlement parameters with and without bamboo reinforcement. The various geometrical installation patterns adopted viz. circular, rectangular and cross (plus shape) with constant slenderness (l/d) equal to 10 for all model tests. To achieve this objective special model tanks with twin T-shape loading arm were fabricated of size 50 cm in diameter and 50 cm in height which can withstand compressive force up to 10T.
