Abstract: Biot's three-dimensional (3D) coupled consolidation theory can be incorporated into the scaled boundary finite element method to enable dynamic soil-structure interaction in fully saturated poroelastic media to be modelled. The detailed formulation governing the general 3D time-dependent soil-structure interaction case is considered for both bounded and unbounded media, in static and dynamic situations.
