The purpose of this brief paper is to present a new derivation of Biot's theory of linear poroelasticity (Biot, M., 1935, “Le Probleḿe de la Consolidation des Matiéres Argileuses Sous une Charge,” Ann. Soc. Sci. Bruxelles,B55, pp. 110–113; Biot, M., 1941, “General Theory of Three-Dimensional Consolidation,” J. Appl. Phys., 12, pp. 155–164; and Biot, M., and Willis, D., 1957, “The Elastic Coefficients of the Theory of Consolidation,” J. Appl. Mech., 24, pp. 594–601) in a modern thermodynamically consistent fashion, and show that it may be deduced as a special case of a more general theory of chemoelasticity.
