1 Introduction
In this note, we consider the basic equations governing the
dynamics of a saturated porous medium. They were first
derived by De Josselin de Jong [2] and Biot [1], and a clear
exposition of them, together with some useful solutions,
may be found in Chapter 5 of the book by Verruijt [4].
In particular, the basic equations will be presented for
the one-dimensional case of propagation of plane waves
and the associated coupled consolidation. The solution for
the problem of step loading applied to a layer of saturated
soil with a linear elastic skeleton and a compressible pore
fluid is presented. This solution may be useful in the validation of finite element codes developed for the solution of
dynamic consolidation problems.

3 Special case
Consider the special case where s = 0 and a = 1. This
corresponds to a soil where the tortuosity is insignificant
and the compressibility of the solid particles is much less
than that of the saturated soil overall. These are reasonable
approximations of many cases of soils encountered in
engineering practice. It is also reasonable to assume that
variations in the porosity of the soil are of second-order
importance, so that the porosity n may be assumed as
approximately constant.
With these assumptions, the governing equations for this
special case simplify to the following:

Values of these coefficients are required in the Laplace
transform solution of the problem of a finite layer.
Otherwise, inversion of the transforms proceeds as for the
infinitely deep layer.

6 Validation
The example solutions plotted in Figs. 3 and 4 might be
useful for validating finite element codes for dynamic
consolidation. While they consider only elasticity and
small strains, they do allow a check on the concurrent wave
transmission and consolidation processes.
