Abstract
If no drainage is possible from a soil, because the soil has been sealed off, or because the load is applied so quickly and the permeability is so small that there is no time for outflow of water, there will be no consolidation of the soil. This is the undrained behavior of a soil. This chapter contains an introduction to the description of this undrained behavior.
