Degree of Consolidation Calculator

Calculate the average degree of consolidation U% at a given time or the time required to achieve a target degree of consolidation using Terzaghi's consolidation theory.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Calculate the average degree of consolidation U% at a given time or the time required to achieve a target degree of consolidation using Terzaghi's consolidation theory

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Terzaghi's consolidation theory — The terzaghi's consolidation theory recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the degree of consolidation result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the Terzaghi's consolidation theory for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate the average degree of consolidation U% at a given time or the time required to achieve a target degree of consolidation using Terzaghi's consolidation theory. Use the degree of consolidation result to inform your clinical assessment.
