Study of Normal Static Stresses Under an Excitation in Poroelastic Flat Slabs

Biot's theory of Poroelasticity is employed to investigate normal static stresses under an excitation in an infinite Poroelastic slabs of arbitrary thickness. The radial normal static stress is obtained, and in the neighborhood of the center, the same is investigated. It is seen that poroelastic parameters have greater influence over radial normal static stress. Numerical data is presented graphically and then discussed.
