The infl uence of loading rate on deformation of organic soil. In this review paper the changes of deformation parameters in the organic soils characteristics are presented. The main view was put on the infl uence of loading rate on presented soils. The results of soft soils used to the analysis were obtained in laboratory using oedometer tests. To describe the deformation process of organic soils two kinds of oedometer tests were held: with gradually increasing load and constant load. Both techniques show the wide range of factors determine deformations and settlements of organic subsoil, among which important are also the velocity and the value of loading rate.
