Abstract
The compaction of soils can lead to soil profiles that have properties that are less desirable from the point of view of agricultural use of soils. The paper presents elementary models of soil compaction based on continuum theories of poro-elasto-plasticity. Attention is restricted to the consideration of the quasi-static loading of a saturated one-dimensional column of soil that can experience fluid flow in its pore space and reversible and irreversible deformations of the porous skeleton.Keywords
