Settlement
Settlement
This spreadsheet contains solutions for settlement of areal fills on clay and finite sized
locations on clay and sand.
Each tab contains a solution for a different case. The settlment on clay are based on clas
consolidation theory. The settlement on sand is based on Schmertmann's method.
The tabs have been protected to prevent accidental corruption of the solutions. There a
passwords so users may unprotect the sheets and modify the formatting of the solutions
they wish.
While reasonable efforts have been made to check the results of these computataions, t
accuracy is not guaranteed. These spreadsheets should not be used for commercial or d
purposes.
