TLDR
In this paper, a Laplace-Hankel transform is applied to the governing equations of Biot's consolidation by using the eigenvalue approach, and the analytical layer-element of a single soil layer can be obtained in the transformed domain by synthesizing the generalized displacements and stresses, which are both expressed by six arbitrary constants.

The Accurate Numerical Inversion of Laplace Transforms

TL;DR: Inversion of almost arbitrary Laplace transforms is effected by trapezoidal integration along a special contour as mentioned in this paper, in which the number n of points to be used is one of several parameters, in most cases yielding absolute errors of order 10 for n = 10.
