Description: Australia's first National Soft Soil Field Testing Facility has been established near Ballina in northern New South Wales. A detailed site characterization study has been performed to determine the site stratigraphy, material properties and engineering parameters. The results of combined in situ and laboratory campaigns are summarized in this paper. The Ballina clay can be characterized as a conductive, high plasticity, structured, high compressibility, low strength, low permeability, near-isotropic and lightly overconsolidated material.
