Abstract
The dissipation of the pore water pressures during the consolidation process can be calculated very simply by a numerical solution procedure, using the finite difference method. This is presented in this chapter, keeping the method as simple as possible. Many more advanced, and more powerful numerical methods have been developed. They can be found on the internet.
