Abstract
A soil, like most of nature's materials, has a strain response that is fully time-dependent. It not only depends upon time that lasts the applied stress, but also upon the time after which has already ceased the stress' application. By rhetorically formulating the strain-time dependence, at constant applied compression, from soil lab tests, and extending these results to quantify the soil's deformation response during pressure groutings performed with reinjectable, non-return valves and below the soil's hydraulic fracturing limit, it is shown that percentages of about 80%, and even higher, of the maximum grouting pressure, remain prestressing the ground, long after grouting has been finished.
