This paper presents the ground surface displacements induced by periodic groundwater withdrawal in a homogeneous isotropic poroelastic half space. The formulation of the mathematical model is based on Biot’s consolidation theory of porous media. Using Laplace-Hankel integral transforms, the closed-form solutions of the transient consolidation deformations are derived. The solutions can be used to evaluate numerical models and numerical simulations of the poroelastic consolidation of a saturated porous aquifer due to periodic groundwater withdrawal.
