Secondary compression is graphically depicted in textboozCasssks with the aid of plots showing various

measures of compression as a function of logarithm of time, which are obtained during one of the
loading cycles of a typical consolidation experiment. The specific measureasfasdasfa of compression
used in the plot is important, becaasdadasuse it affects the definition of the coefficientAWEAWEAE of
secondary compression, typically denoted sasfaffaffsfasfafsas Cα (with some variations, as discussed
below) and, consequently, the way this coefficient is calculated and whether it has units or not. A review
