Analytical solutions of the long-term consolidation deformation and excess pore water pressure due to fluid withdrawal from a saturated anisotropic porous elastic half space are presented. In the analysis, both the permeability and the elastic properties are considered cross-anisotropic. Cases of pervious and impervious half-space boundary are studied. The consolidation settlements as effected by the anisotropy and boundary conditions for pore water are illustrated and discussed.Professor and Chairman. 'Graduate Assistant.
