Deals with problems of rheology of solid deformable bodies, covering various aspects such as creep, relaxation of tensile stresses, and long-term strength. Reviews theories of soil creep; reports on data on clayey soils and the rheological processes occurring in them under natural conditions; describes laboratory set ups for determining instantaneous and creep strains; and discusses the effects of lateral and residual pore pressure on volumetric and shear strains. Of interest to researchers and engineers studying the physical, mechanical, and rheological properties of clayey soils and solutions for theoretical problems of rheology and structural design.
