Elsi getlemenis are instantaneous, recoverable, and are commonly Calculated fom linear elasc theory. Time-dependent selements occur in both granular and cohesive ‘eile, albugh the response ine for granular sols is usualy shor. In adion to being tie-dependent, the sols response to louding is norlinezr, and defonzations are only partially recoverable. Two ypes of time-dependent setlemeat are recognized, Primary consolidation resus fom the squcezing oot of ‘water from the soil voids under hein luence of exces pore water pressures generated by the applied loading. Secondary compression occurs excently afr ll the excess pore pressures have bee dissipated (Ge. afer primary concliaon is substanlly complete).
