This paper presents an analytical solution for the analysis of one-dimensional consolidation of saturated soil layers subjected to general time-dependent loading. A simple calculation procedure that makes use of the Fourier series is proposed for practical applications. Both single loads and cyclic loads can be considered by choosing a suitable period for the Fourier series. A number of comparisons with existing theoretical solutions are shown to assess the accuracy of the proposed procedure. Moreover, the experimental results from oedometer tests performed in the present study and from a well-documented case history concerning a large embankment constructed on compressible soils are analysed using this solution to evaluate the coefficient of consolidation of the soil.Key words: one-dimensional consolidation, time-dependent loading, excess pore-water pressure, theoretical solution, Fourier series.
