A formulation of Element Free Galerkin Method (EFGM) for saturated soil is presented. A weak form of equation of stress equilibrium is derived and its discretization based on the EFGM strategy is presented under the elastic constitutive equation. The continuity equation of pore water is discretized through two different schemes. The accuracy of numerical computation is examined through one-dimensional consolidation problems by comparing with closed and usual finite element solutions.
