For the investigation on the consolidation characteristics of Osaka Pleistocene clay with a welldeveloped soil structure due to long-term secondary consolidation and aging effects, separated-type consolidometer test is carried out. From the tests, very unique consolidation behavior of the clay was observed especially at the loaidng stage exceeding preconsolidation pressure where the compressibility of soil is started to drastically increase overtaking the dissipation rate of excess porewater pressure.
