terzaghi equation

How to derive from poroelastic 3D equations to 1D Terzaghi equation?

Submitted by Xiaogai Li on
Hi!

In the terzaghi equation, there is a constant M (some books call is elastic oedemetric coefficient).

Since the terzaghi equation is a special case for the general 3D biot equations under oedemetric test
boundary conditions, does any book or material explain the derivation?

If I want to mode the terzaghi problem using 3D model in FE program, the M is known, then how to get the
