Thixotropy 

chapter 40 - Thixotropy of soil
Soil loses some of its strength when it is remoulded. The loss of the strength of a soil upon remoulding is partly due to change in the soil structure and partly due to disturbance caused to water molecules in the adsorbed layer. Some of these changes are reversible. If a remoulded soil is left alone undisturbed at the same water content for some time, it may regain part of its lost strength.
This gain of strength in the soil with the passage of time after remoulding is called Thixotropy.
