Glacial deposits are amongst the most widespread in the world. Tills are extremely variable soils. This article deals with research results of normally consolidated, non-weathered tills. In Poland they are stratigraphically classified into the last Scandinavianglaciation. Their mechanical behaviour has been described with reference to their structure, and to microstructure in particular. The influence of structure on compressibility, strength and stiffness has been examined for tills by comparing the behaviour of intact samples with that of reconstituted unstructured samples.
