The phenomenon of almost double increasing of a peat secondary consolidation coefficient throughout the oedometer tests was noticed by a number of the researchers. An analysis of a long-term laboratory experiment results has shown that the reason of this effect is not caused by natural processes occurring in a peat. This is due to an incompatibility of a logarithmic equation to an experimental data. The power function can be effectively used for the calculation of a time-dependent strains of a peat.
