The　problem　of　one-dimensional　consolidation　of　soft　clays　under　time-dependent　loadings　taking　account　of　rheological　characteristics　of　soils　is　studied.　By　using　Laplace　transform,　the　solution　in　the　condition　of　constant　loading　is　obtained.　Based　on　this　solution,　the　analytical　solution　of　time-dependent　loading　is　developed　using　the　integral　method.　By　the　analytical　solution,　the　influence　of　some　major　factors　on　the　consolidation　behavior　of　soils　is　investigated　and　the　relevant　results　are　presented　in　graph　forms.　It　is　shown　that　the　form　of　the　consolidation　curve　is　affected　obviously　by　η1　and　that　the　degree　of　consolidation　and　the　speed　of　consolidation　reduce　with　the　decrease　of　η0.
