Notes:
Use of “singularity” elements to model pore pressures in the vicinity of free-draining loaded surfaces, immediately after application of loads at these surfaces is discussed. One-dimensional consolidation is considered. Comparison of numerical results with the exact solution shows that use of specially designed elements approaching “singularity” may succeed in reducing the error in pore pressures.
