It has been suggested that the rheological properties 
of soils be modeled by the integral Volterra equation of the second 
kind of the nonlinear heredity theory and by the differential equation 
which, under certain conditions, approximately replaces the adopted 
integral equation. Parameters of these governing equations have been 
found from experimental data for a number of soils. The processes 
of creep of soils have been studied.
