CONSOLIDATION OF LAYERED SOILS UNDER TIME-DEPENDENT LOADING. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NUMERICAL METHODS IN GEOMECHANICS, 11-15 APRIL 1988, INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA. VOLUMES 1 - 3

A finite layer method is used to compute the behaviour of a layered soil which has anisotropy of permeability and which is subjected to a time dependent loading. The method relies upon obtaining the solution in LaPlace transform space and then using numerical inversion to produce the time dependent solution. Advantages of the method are that it requires very little computer storage and can be run on a microcomputer, it can directly produce a result at any nominated time which has advantages over 'marching' solutions, and that it can be used to solve realistic three dimensional problems involving layered soils with anisotropic permeability.
