FEM FOR CONSOLIDATION ANALYSIS

= +

Assumptions:
CONSOLIDACIÓN

• Steady state pore pressure is constant in time (horizontal phreatic level or

steady state pore pressure from groundwater flow calculation)
• Excess pore pressure can change in time
• Fully saturated soil (above and below phreatic level)

Limitation:
• Time dependent hydraulic boundary is not possible (variable phreatic level)

FEM FOR CONSOLIDATION ANALYSIS

Consolidation analysis based on Biot’s theory of consolidation:

• Coupling between deformation and flow of pore water (excess pore
pressures)
CONSOLIDACIÓN

Differences with Terzaghi’s uncoupled or one-dimensional consolidation:

• Instantaneous settlement in undrained loading
• Spreading of load and therefore smaller excess pore pressures
• Complex ‘flow’ of excess pore pressures
• Mandell-Cryer effect: Pore pressure may not immediately reduce
