Terzaghi Consolidation Settlement Calculator

Calculate primary consolidation settlement of clay layers using Terzaghi's one-dimensional consolidation theory with compression index Cc and void ratio e0.

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 primary consolidation settlement of clay layers using Terzaghi's one-dimensional consolidation theory with compression index Cc and void ratio e0

Each component has a specific meaning:

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

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

How to Use

Enter the Terzaghi's one-dimensional consolidation theory for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate primary consolidation settlement of clay layers using Terzaghi's one-dimensional consolidation theory with compression index Cc and void ratio e0. Use the terzaghi consolidation result to inform your clinical assessment.
