A short review of the complexities in the specification of physical properties for the solution of thermal problems in freezing and thawing soils is presented. The differential equations governing the conduction of heat, in which latent heat is considered as a heat source, are stated. An equivalent convolution variational theorem is used to construct a two-dimensional finite element model with linear variation of temperature within the element. Two time step idealizations of the equations are described and alternative forms of the latent heat matrix are derived. Some results obtained with the simplest latent heat matrix are presented, which include a problem of complex geometry, to illustrate the versatility of the technique.

This paper describes the work carried out to investigate the pore pressures occurring in secondary consolidation. A theoretical approach and an experimental technique was developed in order to conduct the study. By considering compression to occur only due to water leaving the soil it was possible to derive an expression for the dissipation of pore pressure in the secondary phase. By further simplified assumptions which are based on experimental observations, the above general solution was reduced to a simple formula which predicted the observed behaviour of pore water pressures during secondary consolidation.
