Abstract:

A computer program was developed for evaluation of finite element models for soil consolidation and study of dynamic response of fluid-saturated soils. One-and two-dimensional consolidation problems were analyzed using different finite elements. Transient response of saturated porous elastic media for dynamic as well as quasi-static problems was studied. Results were compared with the numerical and analytical solutions available. Keywords include Computer simulation, Consolidation, Dynamic response, Finite element method flow through porous media seepage seismic response.
