Abstract

Semi-analytical solutions of free strain consolidation of fine-grained soils by vertical drains are developed in this paper.The solutions obtained are semi-analytical in the sense that the problem is first solved analytically in the Laplace transform domain and the corresponding values in real time and space are then obtained by numerical inversion of the Laplace transform solutions. Solutions are obtained for the distribution of excess pore pressure and degree of consolidation subjected to a single step incremental loading.
