Calculate average consolidation in layer as function of time

Description

calculate average consolidation in a layer as function of time. Calculations approximate the solution using a Taylor series, similar function 'calculate_consolidation_openlayer()'.

Three cases are distinguished: * 'trace = 1' drainage in open layers with thickness 2d (uniform or triangular), or in half-closed layer with uniform initial pressure and thickness d * 'trace = 2' drainage in half-closed layer with triangular distribution of initial excess pore water pressure. Larger pressure near closed end * 'trace = 3' drainage in half-closed layer with triangular distribution of initial excess pore water pressure. Larger pressure near open end

Usage

calculate_consolidation_averagetime(Tv, trace = 1, nfourier = 50)

Arguments

Tv	normalised time for crosshair annotation
trace	trace selection (1, 2 or 3) for crosshair annotation
nfourier	number of fourier steps to use

Value

an array with average degree of consolidation Uv
