The mechanical behavior of the soil is characterized by the presence of the fluid phase. Indeed, the interaction between the soil skeleton and fluid phase affects the behavior of soil in various situations. This interaction is especially important when the applied compression squeezes the fluid out of the soil. This phenomenon, or what was called ‘consolidation’ originally, was so typical as a subject in soil mechanics that the name ‘consolidation analysis’ has almost become a generic term for any soil deformation computations which take the effect of fluid into account. It is in this sense that we use the word ‘consolidation’ in this chapter.
