Consolidation equation, Biot

Analysis of time-dependent consolidation requires the solution of Biot s consolidation equations coupled to the equations describing flow. The transient hydro-mechanical coupling between pore pressure and volumetric strain for a linear elastic, mechanically isotropic porous medium and fully saturated with a single fluid phase (i.e. water), is given by the fluid continuity equation ... [Pg.761]

This is combined with the seepage equation (6.5), giving Biot s consolidation equation. [Pg.187]

The strong form of Biot s consolidation equations is given as follows Governing equations... [Pg.191]

We assume that in Biot s consolidation equations the porous medium is fully saturated, and the fluid phase is incompressible. The excess pore pressure Ap is an increase (or a decrease) of pore pressure from the hydrostatic pressure therefore the equation of equilibrium (6.36) is given in an incremental form. [Pg.192]
