Hello there,
I was trying to predict the settlement of layered soils due to the groundwater lowering.
My guess is that, in order to model the consolidation process, I need to apply a flow function, modelling the hydraulic head lowering over time, in order to get the pore pressure variation, using a fully coupled flow-deformation analysis.
I do not want to use water wells for my purposes.
Any experience on similar cases?
Regards
