The one-dimensional consolidation problem of soft soil with self-weight and non-Darcian flow is studied by introducing continuous drainage boundary. A numerical solution is derived by using finite difference method and its correctness is proved by comparing with existing analytical and numerical solutions. Based on the present solution, the consolidation behavior of soil is detailedly analyzed by adjusting the different parameters. The results show that, the soil consolidation rate increases with the increase of interface parameters or external loading rate. The difference between the average consolidation degree obtained by the solution with continuous drainage boundary and that with traditional boundary is mainly in the early stage of consolidation, but in the late stage of consolidation, the difference between these two solutions becomes smaller. Compared with the soil consolidation solution considers non-Darcian flow, the soil consolidation rate with Darcy flow is faster.
