Purpose: In this study, field experimental research was conducted to analyze the settlement characteristics of soft ground in the central inland region of Korea and use it in practice. Method: The design predicted values ​​and comparative analysis were performed using the ten settlement measurement data actually measured in the field experiment. For the design prediction value, Terzaghi's one-dimensional consolidation settlement analysis was used. In the experiment, the surface subsidence plate was used for field measurement. Result: The settlement behavior of the predicted value and the actual value was generally similar, but in the settlement value, the actual settlement value showed a settlement behavior of 30% or less compared to the predicted settlement value. The rate of consolidation settlement in this study area was in the range of 9.6% to 27.0%, and the average value was 18.21%. It is analyzed that the prediction of the settlement amount of the silty soils distributed in the inland plains of the central region of Korea can be relatively overestimated. Conclusion: It is judged that precise ground investigation and detailed prediction are necessary because there is a possibility of over-design in the design for predicting the amount of settlement of the silty soils distributed in the inland plains of the central region of Korea.
