The slope of this last segment is related to the coefficient of consolidation
governing the process. In case of multiple loading increments, each loading step
produces a curve similar to that described above, so that the process as a whole is
described by the envelope of all curves.
The t
t displacement curves obtained for the Verrand HRSS are shown
in Figs. 8 and 9 for vertical and horizontal displacements, respectively. Both
diagrams exhibit the same pattern: A relatively well-defined step, corresponding
to the first loading phase, followed by the envelope of small construction
increments. All curves turn toward the reference curve soon after the last
increment has been applied.
