Abstract
An application of the theory of consolidation is the determination of the response of a sea bed to water waves in the sea, see figure 3.1. It is assumed that along the bottom of the sea the pressure in the water varies sinusoidally, in space as well as in time, and the problem is now to determine the pore pressures in the soil below the sea bottom. In the first part of this chapter the soil is assumed to be a homogeneous linear elastic material, as a first approximation. This is a straightforward application of the theory of consolidation, as presented in the previous chapter.
