Finite element analysis for consolidation of multilayered and anisotropic soils

<p>The purpose of this study was to present an analysis for predicting the magnitude and rate of settlement and the magnitude of the pore water pressure during consolidation of linear elastic soils by using the finite element method. The formulation of the method is based on a variational prin...
