Un Enfoque Unificado para el Análisis de Consolidación en Medios Porosos Saturados

Abstract

A bidimensional mathematical model based on Biot's theory (1955)[3].[4], which allows to analyze the total stress equilibrium (effective + pore) and the strain compatibility during the consolidation process by coupling the effects· of stress and flow. is presented in this work. It is taken into
account. physical non linear behavior of soils by means of an elastoplastic model based on the Critical State Theory[i] with some modifications[6] It is also considered. geometric non linear effects. The Finite Element Method with different shape functions for displacements and pore pressure. is used to solve this problem.
