RESUMEN: La capacidad admisible de carga y de asentamientos de fundaciones apoyadas en arcillas plásticas saturadas normalmen-te consolidadas y preconsolidadas son analizados bajo el concepto de la resistencia al esfuerzo cortante del límite cedente y siguiendo el criterio de que una arcilla cohesiva es un sólido plástico, pudiéndose esperar que desarrolle las mismas propiedades de dicho material. Se hace un estudio comparativo entre los asentamientos elásticos inmediatos y aquellos plásticos progresivos de fundaciones en este tipo de suelos, siguiendo el concepto de la resistencia al límite cedente y los asentamientos por consolidación obtenidos de la Teoría de Consolidación. Finalmente se explica la inexactitud en la pre-dicción de los asentamientos, siguiendo la Teoría de Consolidación en este tipo de suelo y se analizan algunos casos de falla de fundaciones.
