Creeping deformation of soil skeleton includes its slow deformation at constant stress state. This type of soil skeleton deformation is neglected in the conventional calculation of the settlement of a structure. However, as experimental studies show, these deformations are essential in the process of soil compaction and especially in the calculation of the change in the settlement of the soil layer in time. When the soil is compacted under the action of load without the possibility of its lateral expansion, creeping deformation of the skeleton is caused by the displacement of elements of the soil skeleton of some relative to others and their introduction into the pore volume of the soil.
