The one-dimensional consolidation of columns of soil of finite length

An analysis of the one-dimensional consolidation of a saturated column of soil of finite length is presented. This analysis, which is based on the theory of water movement in one-dimensional swelling systems, makes no assumptions of constancy with regard to variation of the flow parameters with variation in void ratio, and is not restricted in its application by the magnitude of the strains involved. An explanation of secondary consolidation is a consequence of the procedure.
