Abstract
This paper reports about the derivation of a fully nonlinear model characterized by finite deformations without smallness assumptions. The soil is assumed to be saturated, and no restrictions are introduced on the constitutive laws. Initial boundary value problems are formulated with reference to geotechnical problems, such as consolidation under own weight or sedimentation of solid particles in a quiescent fluid, and back-analyses of field performance of an embankment resting on a soft clay deposit.
