| Phase | Description | Time: days |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Activation of SPWs | 1 |
| 2 | Excavation | 1–7 |
| 3 | Stall-time (construction) | Varied (texc.-slab) |
| 4 | Apply line load simulating wet concrete* | 1 |
| 5 | Deactivate line load*, activate slab | 0–1 |
| 6 | Stall-time (construction) | Varied (90 and 3650) |
| 7 | End of dewatering, start return of steady state pore pressures | 730 |
| 8 | Consolidation | Varies† |
