Abstract
This work deals with the numerical solution of a twoβdimensional doubleβporosity consolidation problem using a finite difference scheme. Stabilized discretizations using staggered grids in both space and time are proposed. A priori estimates for displacements and pressures in discrete energy norms are obtained, and the corresponding convergence results are given. Numerical examples illustrate the convergence properties of the proposed numerical scheme. Β© 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 28: 138β154, 2012

## Abstract The soil around a drain well is traditionally divided into smeared zone and undisturbed zone with constant hydraulic conductivity. In reality, hydraulic conductivity of the soil changes continuously and it may not be always appropriate to approximate its distribution with two zones. In
Laboratory consolidation of structured clayey soils is analysed in this paper. The research is carried out by two di!erent methods. The "rst one treats the soil as an isotropic homogeneous equivalent Double Porosity (DP) medium. The second method rests on the extensive application of the Finite Elem
The mathematical base of the double porosity concept, consisting of the continuity and equilibrium equation respectively, is briefly reviewed. A quasi-steady-state transfer function, the so-called leakage term, is used. Important aspects of the developed code, based on the double porosity theory, ar
This paper reports on the development of a finite difference model of the sensitization process. The model can be applied to alloy systems in which diffusion of one component to and within the grain boundary determines the rate of precipitation in the boundary. An example application of the model to
