- The results of laboratory consolidation tests and undrained shear strength determinations of sediments from the Oki Ridge and the Kita Yamato Trough show that the sediments are overconsolidated to normally consolidated to a depth of about 20 m below the seafloor. Below that depth, the sediments are highly underconsolidated, implying high excess pore-water pressures. The most probable mechanism for the generation of the excess pore-water pressure is gas in sediments.
