Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the term for the settlement that occurs after the primary consolidation is complete?
  • Step 1: Understand what primary consolidation is. This is when soil settles due to the weight of structures above it, and it happens quickly.
  • Step 2: Recognize that after primary consolidation, the soil may still change over time.
  • Step 3: Learn that this ongoing change in the soil is called secondary compression.
  • Step 4: Realize that secondary compression happens slowly as soil particles rearrange themselves.
