Abstract

The problem of mechanics of periodically stratified soils which can be observed in the cases of varved clays, Miocene clays and flotation wastes are considered. The paper contains a description of layered soils and a presentation of certain homogenized model of periodic two-layered fluid-saturated porous solids based on Biot’s theory of consolidation. The example important from the view point of engineering geology applications is solved.
