Consolidation parameters

In consolidation analysis (set in the frame "Analysis methods") the bottom window in the frame "Analysis" serves for entering consolidation parameters. 

In the first construction stage of calculation following characteristics are required: top and bottom interface of consolidated soil layer and direction of water outflow from this layer (upwards, downwards and both downwards and upwards).

Frame "Analysis" – consolidation (first construction stage)

In other construction stages time of stage duration and load action are entered. Program allows for choosing from two options of load acting: whole loading introduced at the beginning of stage or load linearly increases during stage duration. Calculation is then launched only in the construction stage where "Overall settlement" is checked (may be checked in whatever stage except first one).
