Try another scenario
- Coefficient of consolidation (m²/day)
- 1.005
- Elapsed time (days)
- 100
- Drainage path length (m)
- 2.5
- Dimensionless consolidation time factor Tv
- 16.08
Calculation method
Calculation method
Dimensionless consolidation time factor Tv
Tv=cv×time/drainage-path-length²; drainage path is supplied, not inferred from layer thickness.
Symbols and units
- a
- Coefficient of consolidation (m²/day)
- b
- Elapsed time (days)
- c
- Drainage path length (m)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Tv=cv×time/drainage-path-length²; drainage path is supplied, not inferred from layer thickness. 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.
