Solution approaching wrong value

Hello, I have written the following code as an analytical solution to excess pore pressure in 1D soil consolidation:
z=(1:-delZ:0)';
tt=[0.01,0.1,0.2,0.5,1,2];
a=4/pi; pa=pi/2; pp=pa*pa;
Wan=zeros(21,1);
for k=1:5
jj(k)=(2*k-1);
for ii=2:N+1
Wan(ii)=Wan(ii)+(((-1)^(k-1))/jj(k))*cos(jj(k)*pa*z(ii))*exp(-jj(k)*jj(k)*pp*tt(1));
end
end
My problem is it results in this graph for t=0.01, with the values approaching 0.8 when they should be approaching 1.0. Can anybody spot where I've gone wrong with this? Thank you!

What are the underlying equations you are solving?
Where at T=0, W=1, 0
With boundary conditions: W=0 at Z=1 for T greater than zero and
at Z=0 for T greater than zero
James means the infinite sum you are trying to implement.
