This work is devoted to the numerical analysis of saturated porous media, taking into accountthe damage phenomenon on the solid skeleton. The porous media is taken into poroelasticframework, in full-saturated condition, based on the Biot's Theory. A scalar damage model isassumed for this analysis. An implicit Boundary element Method (BEM) formulation, basedon time-independent fundamental solutions, is developed and implemented to couple thefluid flow and the elasto-damage problems. The integration over boundary elements isevaluated by using a numerical Gauss procedure. A semi-analytical scheme for the case oftriangular domain cells is followed to carry out the relevant domain integrals. The non-linearsystem is solved by a Newton-Raphson procedure. Numerical examples are presented, inorder to validate the implemented formulation and to illustrate its efficiency.
