## Abstract Traditionally, sedimentation and selfโweight consolidation have been viewed as physically distinct processes requiring separate treatment. Relatively recently, Pane and Schiffman^1^ and also Philip and Smiles^2^ have suggested that the two processes may be described by a single partial

## Abstract Projection, or conjugate gradient like, methods are becoming increasingly popular for the efficient solution of large sparse sets of unsymmetric indefinite equations arising from the numerical integration of (initial) boundary value problems. One such problem is soil consolidation coupl
This paper presents a general one-dimensional (1-D) finite element (FE) procedure for a highly non-linear 1-D elastic visco-plastic (1-D EVP) model proposed by Yin and Graham for consolidation analysis of layered clay soils. In formulating the 1-D FE procedure, a trapezoidal formula is used to avoid
In the context of the equilibrium equations governing an Euler-Bernoulli beam and an assembly of such beams in a frame structure, this article considers the superconvergence of various parameters at various points of the finite element solutions and describes an a posteriori error estimator of the B
