Oedometer　and　secondary　consolidation　tests　were　performed　on　six　remolded　clays　with　a　wide　spectrum　of　liquid　limits　to　investigate　the　secondary　consolidation　behavior.　It　is　understood　that　the　void　ratio　and　the　void　ratio　at　liquid　limit　are　the　controlling　factors　in　the　secondary　deformation　analysis.　This　study　also　makes　it　clear　that　the　coefficient　of　the　secondary　consolidation　decreases　with　the　decrease　in　the　void　ratio,　and　increases　with　the　increase　in　the　liquid　limit　under　the　same　void　ratio.　A　new　definition　of　the　coefficient　of　secondary　consolidation　is　given　in　the　bilogarithmic　ln(1+e)-logt　plot.　The　quantitative　evaluation　of　the　relationship　between　the　secondary　consolidation　coefficient　in　the　bilogarithmic　plot　and　the　void　ratio　at　the　liquid　limit　(eL)　is　also　proposed.　A　simple　method　for　predicting　the　settlement　of　the　secondary　consolidation　for　remolded　clays　is　also　recommended.
