Mastering Settle3 - Primary & Secondary Consolidation

Understanding Primary & Secondary Consolidation is crucial in geotechnical engineering for accurately forecasting soil settlement behavior over time. Join Steve Chai in this episode of Mastering Settle3 as he guides us through the Primary & Secondary Feature, demonstrating how to calculate pore water pressure dissipation and anticipate secondary settlement in your projects.

How can I fix it when I obtain this: time from this stage: No solution ?
I can't recognize my mistake

[@rocscience]

Hello,
Sometimes when this occurs, you can try the following steps:
1. Re-compute to ensure the time query points are updated.
2. Check the time query point settings:
a) check the elevation where you've placed the time query.
b) Check the consolidation between stages. The consolidation may have completely dissipated for the stages you've defined prior to the time query,
c) Check the groundwater condition, and also check the pore water pressure dissipation for the model.
If the issue persists, feel free to send the model to our technical support team here: www.rocscience.com/support/get-support

Why we turned off immediate settlement for Clay layer?

[@rocscience]

Usually for clay, we model using primary consolidation for focusing on pore water pressure dissipation with time along depth of soil. For certain conditions of soil, we provide more details on what you can use in our documentation with more details.
