When the variation of secondary compression, with log(10) t is non-linear, the quantification of secondary settlement through the coefficient of secondary compression, C-alpha epsilon, becomes difficult which frequently leads to an underestimate of the settlement, Log(10) delta - log(10) t representation of such true-compression data has the distinct advantage of exhibiting linear secondary compression behaviour over an appreciably larger time span. The slope of the secondary compression portion of the log(10) e - log(10) t curve expressed as Delta(log e)/(log t) and called the 'secondary compression factor', m, proves to be a better alternative to C-alpha epsilon and the prediction of secondary settlement is improved.
