N1 - This paper presents a relation between the secondary compression index and the quasi-over-consolidation ratio OCR* from the one-dimensional oedometer test results to describe the nonlinear creep behavior for overconsolidated and quasi-overconsolidated clays. The 1-D compression model based on this relationship is developed and incorporated into a FDM (Finite Difference Method) program.

N2 - This paper presents a relation between the secondary compression index Ca and the quasi-over-consolidation ratio OCR * from the one-dimensional oedometer test results to describe the nonlinear creep behavior for overconsolidated and quasi-overconsolidated clays. The 1-D compression model based on this relationship is developed and incorporated into a FDM (Finite Difference Method) program. In this model, the lower creep rate for overconsolidated soil is explained by the decrease of secondary compression index Ca , and the viscous compression is divided into viscoelastic and viscoplastic parts, which is different from the "equivalent time line" concept. The numerical predictions show that this method can account for the nonlinear creep behavior induced by overconsolidation or quasi-overconsolidation of clays.
