Abstract

A rheological model is given which is capable of representing the continuing secondary foundation settlements reported in certain field observations of structures experiencing large variations in live load; similar observations have been made in the laboratory for specimens subjected to repeated loading. It is expected that the given model will prove useful in the long-time stress analysis of flexible structures, such as oil tanks, which are subjected to large variations in load.
