The clay which transported into a pond under the high water content condition have no effective stress which develop from the starting point of sedimentation and self-weight consolidation. Since sedimentation and self-weight consolidation dependent on self-weight of solids is made progress over a long time, to accelerating it have many advantages in the economic view In this paper, sand spreading method which is one of sedimentation and self-weight consolidation acceleration method is studied through a series of experiments considering the mixing ratio of sand and clay. The test results show that the mixing ratio of clay and sand of 1:0.2 is the biggest rate of consolidation and the pouring at the end point of sedimentation considerably effects on consolidation rate.
