Double-drained consolidation at point in time and space

Description

Calculates the degree of consolidation Uv in a double-drained soil layer at a certain (normalised) times: Tv = c_v*t/d^2 and at certain (normalised) position in the layer (zd = z/d), where 'd' is half the thickness of the open layer

Initial excess pore pressure is assumed to be uniform across the entire soil layer

Solution uses the fourier series method to solve the consolidation equation, detailed in Craig's Soil Mechanics, among others

Usage

calculate_consolidation_openlayer(zd, Tv, nfourier = 50)

Arguments

zd

normalised depth (array)

Tv

normalised time (array)

nfourier

number of fourier steps to use

Value

array with degrees of consolidation (between 0 and 1)
