Abstract
Based on a one-dimensional thermal consolidation formulation with and without thermo-mechanical coupling of saturated porous medium, problems of one-dimensional thermal consolidation of saturated soil were investigated. For the condition with instantaneous constant surface temperature and uniform initial pore-pressure, analytical solutions of excess pore-water pressure and temperature increment were derived respectively by the method of finite Fourier transform and inverse transform. A relevant computer program was developed, and the excess pore-water pressure was compared in detail. The results show that the thermo-mechanical coupling item in the thermal consolidation equation can be ignored.
