Abstract

This paper presents an analytical study of the classical consolidation problem related to deep soil deposit whose permeable or impermeable surface subjected to a perfectly flexible circular load. The deep soil deposit is modeled as a poroelastic medium of semi-infinite extent, saturated with compressible pore fluid. The analytical and numerical solutions for the surface settlements and excess pore pressure illustrate the significance and manner of the drained and undrained Poisson's ratios ν and νu on the consolidation response of saturated soils.
