    Notes: A Fourier transform technique is presented which may be used to analyse three-dimensional consolidation problems for soils which are loaded by embankment shaped loadings that are rectangular in plan (or of arbitrary shape which can be divided into rectangles in plan). The introduction of a Fourier transform effectively reduces the three-dimensional problem to one involving only two spatial dimensions and this reduces computer storage and saves computing and data preparation time. The material properties of the soil may vary arbitrarily in the plane which is perpendicular to the axis associated with the variable eliminated during the Fourier transform. Solutions obtained using the method are compared with existing solutions in order to verify the theory and assess accuracy, and illustrative examples are given for problems involving the consolidation of soils under embankment loadings.

    Notes: A numerical method is developed in this paper for the analysis of the behaviour of a raft resting on a consolidating soil. The response of the raft under an applied loading is determined using the finite layer method for the soil and the finite element method for the raft. By considering deflection compatibility on the contact surface, the distribution of contact pressure is computed at various time steps. The settlement and bending moment in the raft is then evaluated by applying the calculated contact pressure back to the raft. It is shown that, in some cases, the maximum moment in the raft occurs during consolidation and that checking the final moment in the raft by use of elastic theory may not be sufficient.

    Notes: A calculation procedure is presented for predicting steady two-dimensional elliptic flows. The method introduces a density correction concept and an algebraic equation for the velocity correction instead of the troublesome pressure correction equation in the SIMPLER procedure. Computations show that the method has the same rate of convergence as SIMPLER while saving about 20% computational effort per iteration. Although the method is described for steady two-dimensional situations, its extension to three-dimensional problems is very straightforward.
