Abstract
It is shown that the dependence of soil deformation on the distance to the drainage boundary, which is noted by a number of experimenters for the stage of secondary consolidation, is explained by incorrect interpretation of test data. Laboratory results demonstrating an apparent lack of creep in the stage of primary consolidation are explained by characteristic features of the generalized consolidation equations and relationships between their parameters.
