The influence of pore‐fluid compressibility on failure loads in certain soil mechanics problems is investigated. The results are tested using a finite element approach treating the soil as an elasto‐plastic material. A limiting value for the pore‐fluid compressibility to give satisfactory solutions and numerical stability is suggested.
