Abstract
The paper presents the possibility of the secondary consolidation modelling in soil mechanics by using rheological schemes. Non-elastic rheological models represent time-dependent behaviour of the soil skeleton and should be expressed by appropriate constitutive relationships in the form of ordinary differential equations. On the other hand, the primary consolidation phenomenon caused by dissipation of the excess pore pressure is modelled by applying the well-known formulation proposed by Terzaghi and expressed by the partial differential equation. The resulting initial boundary value problem was solved numerically for three selected rheological schemes. Algorithms implemented in Mathematica were used for this purpose.
