Abstract The interpretation method for dilatory dissipation, showing an initial temporary increase in pore pressure, in piezocone tests in overconsolidated clayey soils was investigated in this study. Finite difference analyses on the dissipation after cone penetration were performed with various ground conditions. The spatial distribution of initial excess pore pressure induced by cone penetration was determined from experimental estimations through in-situ tests and laboratory physical model tests and theoretical predictions by the cavity expansion theory and critical state soil mechanics. A method to evaluate the coefficient of consolidation from dilatory dissipation results was developed through the assessment of numerical simulation results. Comparing the application results with the laboratory-determined values, it was verified that the proposed approach provided a reliable and consistent evaluation of the coefficient of consolidation.
