A large mass movement occurred on March 28, 2013 at the Port of Santana, in the region of the mouth of the Amazon River in Amapá, motivated the study of compressibility characteristics of soft clays from the reconstituted material. Natural soils differ from reconstituted soils due to the influence of micro and macrostructure. The concept of the intrinsic compression line (ICL) proposed by Burland (1990) allows a quantitative evaluation of the difference in soil compression behavior in these two conditions. In this study, two soft clay deposits of the Brazilian coast (Tijucas, SC and Porto de Santana, AP) were analyzed and an artificial mixture made in the laboratory with kaolin and bentonite in the proportion of 98: 2 by weight. A total of 8 samples are reconstituted with moisture content equal to 1.25 times the liquid limit and subjected to conventional consolidation tests (SIC - standard incremental consolidation tests). The consolidation curves of the reconstituted samples show good agreement with the ICL proposed by Burland (1990), especially in the stress range of 100 to 1,000 kPa. The analyzes show the presence of natural soil structure, with a higher influence in the Santana Port clays which have a normalized void index (Iv) up to 1.85. The empirical correlations to obtain the intrinsic parameters of compressibility e 100 and Cc proposed by Burland (1990) did not present good adjustments for the experimental results here reported.
