This study assesses the one-dimensional (1D) consolidation of unsaturated soil subjected to time-dependent loading based on the 1D consolidation theories of unsaturated soil. The differential quadrature method (DQM) is used to produce a general solution that considers various boundary conditions, various initial pore-water and pore-air distributions, and complex time-dependent loading. A special case in which the analytical solution is available in the literature is used for verification and accuracy analysis. It is found that the DQM solution can deliver more accurate results compared with the finite-difference method with a small number of sampling points. The general solution can avoid cumbersome computations in solving eigenequations encountered with the analytical solution. In addition, the proposed solution is more suitable for practical engineering because of its generality in complex initial, boundary, and loading conditions. Finally, the characteristics of the 1D consolidation of unsaturated soils under various initial pore pressure distributions, boundary conditions, and complex time-dependent loading conditions are investigated, and it is found that the initial and boundary conditions have a significant influence on the consolidation of unsaturated soils.
