Important Outputs

Drainage condition Double drainage

Drainage path H_dr 3.00 m

Settlement at profile time 0.00 mm

Degree of consolidation 0.0%

Final settlement 0.00 mm

Mid-depth excess pore pressure 0.0 kPa

Interpretation: The settlement curve shows the time-dependent response. The profile shows how excess pore pressure varies with depth at the selected time.

Drainage: Drained boundaries force u = 0. Undrained boundaries trap water and slow dissipation.
