In the process of loading, initially, as we increase the load the pore water pressure increases, due to which pore water escapes out from the voids of the soil.
Hence, the pore water pressure in the soil sample of the consolidometer test is maximum at the center and when the primary consolidation is completed, which leads to the expulsion of pore water from the voids of the soil stops then the excess pore water process developed due to the application of load reduced to zero.
