Hi, despite running a consolidation analysis using steady state ground flow calculation type the excess pore pressure won't dissipate. The ground stratifacation is as follows: Backfill followed by upper clay layer, sand in the middle and a clay layer…

Hi everyone, I am working on a consolidation analysis using the Soft Soil Creep model to assess the long term settlement of a deep, normally consolidated clay layer due to the load of a building. I calibrated my const. model parameters based on a consolidation…

Hi all, In MC model, the excess PWP calculation is not correct and Cv term is calculated automatically in MC model based on input values Eoed (E and v') and k. Disregard these let's say I'm using MC model for the consolidation analysis without using…

Hi, the option for consolidation analysis does not seem available in the calculation phases, only plastic and phi-c reduction. Not sure why this is? I am trying to model heave over time due to an excavation in clay. thanks

I am attempting to complete consolidation analysis using "alternatives" primary and secondary consolidation coefficients, however, every time I exit the model and enter again it reverts back to lambda and kappa. It seems like if I stay in the model it…

Hi all, I've inherited a model from a consultant of a staged excavation in saturated, stiff clay that is expected to behave undrained. Once the excavation goes below water table, each stage was given a Plastic calculation (0 days) and a Consolidation…
