During the soil consolidation process, at time = 0, the loading is supported entirely by the pore water pressure. This is because the load is applied rapidly, and the water in the soil pores does not have time to drain out. As a result, the water bears the load initially. Over time, as the water slowly drains out of the soil, the solid soil particles start to bear more and more of the load. This process is known as consolidation.
