Calculation method
Calculation method
Ideal normally-consolidated primary settlement (m)
Normally consolidated one-dimensional settlement=H×Cc/(1+e0)×log10(σfinal/σinitial). No creep, unloading or preconsolidation model.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Normally consolidated one-dimensional settlement=H×Cc/(1+e0)×log10(σfinal/σinitial). No creep, unloading or preconsolidation model. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
