Secondary Compression (Creep)
Secondary compression is a form of soil creep that
is largely controlled by the rate at which the
skeleton of compressible soils (clay, silt, and peat)
can yield and compress (Time dependent)
General perceptions
❖Secondary compression occurs at a slower rate than
primary consolidation
❖Usually occur after the primary consolidation, but can also
start during primary consolidation.
❖Difficult to separate secondary compression from the
primary one especially for thick layer
Evaluation of Secondary Compression according to
extension of Cassagrande Method (Ca/Cc concept)
